Bin Hammam, who took part in the inauguration ceremony of Iran’s Football League Organization in Tehran on Tuesday, warned the country’s football officials over lack of quality stadiums.
“Iran is a leading country in Asia. You must uplift your stadiums according to FIFA standards. In my opinion professional football brings business and enjoyment for people,” the high-ranking AFC official, who is from Qatar, said.
“We have walked a long road to make Asian football professional. We have always encountered opposition in this case but overcame obstacles,” Bin Hammam said.
