Iran: Strategic developments in Tehran
Mehdi Taj, head of the Football Federation, announced to the press today that Amir Ghalenouei will continue his activity as head coach of the national team until the Nations Cup 2027. This is while the Nations Cup is postponed due to the continued Houthi attacks supported by the Islamic Republic, postponed by a year. He also promised that Ghalenouei would have 'serious youthfulness' in the national team: 'With the postponement of the Nations Cup, we have a good opportunity.' The head of the Football Federation also confirmed that with the postponement of the Nations Cup, the Iranian Cup will be held. He informed about the entry of security agencies to the issue in response to a question about abuse in football stadiums. Taj also said that some institutions have asked Esteghlal and Persepolis to reduce their costs. This is while the Islamic Republic handed over these two clubs three years ago and claimed the government's exit from executive and economic management of them. @iranintltvsport
