PTV - Iran's Football Federation (IFF) says it plans to continue signing shirt sponsor deals for the national team's friendly matches.

Iranian company Saipa Diesel was allowed to plaster its logo over national team's shirts for the Monday match against Qatar. The IFF move has sparked controversy in the Iranian media.

“We are prepared to sign shirt sponsors deals for the national team's future friendly matches,” said Mohammad Derakhshan, the head of the IFF marketing committee.

However, the IFF Deputy President Mehdi Taj said the issue of national shirt sponsorship 'needed more consideration'.

Iran's national football team shirts are not currently allowed to carry advertising.
