IRI motto: 'Persian Gulf Men'

IRIB - Deputy Iran's Football Federation announced on Saturday that the motto of the Iranian national soccer in the World Cup is "Persian Gulf Men".

Interviewed by IRIB, Alipour said a previous motto as 'Parsi Stars' was not approved by the Federation.

The Federation has considered the patriotic slogans such as "Should Iran not survive, I'd rather sacrifice me" for spectators and "The Men of Persian Gulf" for national football squad, he added.

Pointing to warm welcome of local residents of Frankfort to Iran's national squad, Alipour added that many youngsters from different countries and nationalities came to Iran's consulate in Frankfort to get flags and photos of Iran's national soccer players.
