Iran up for winning AFC Asian Cup: Federation chief

Iran’s national team has set up a beneficial camp in Qatar, which will be followed by another camp in Iran's southern island of Kish before the 2019 AFC tournament, said Mehdi Taj.

Saying that Iran has not won the title of AFC Asian Cup in the last 42 years, he expressed hope that the country can get favorable results despite its low budget compared to countries like the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Japan.

He noted that the decision on renewing the contract with the current national team’s head coach Carlos Queiroz will be made after AFC cup.

Taj traveled to Orumiyeh city in Wester Azarbaijan Province to take part in the meeting of the province’s football committee.

The 17th edition of the AFC Asian Cup will be held from January 5 to February 1, 2019 in the United Arab Emirates with the participation of 24 Asian national teams including Iran.
