training camp in Tehran

PFDC - TEHRAN, Carlos Queiroz has named a list of 34 mostly youth players for a training camp in Tehran from March 24-26, shortly after the Iranian new year.

Beside many young players even from the U17 level being present, also a bunch of already better known U23 and Team Melli players, such as Karim Ansarifard, Ehsan Hajsafi, Arash Afshin or Reza Haghighi have been called up.

However, also some elder players, such as Damash duo Milad Zanidpour and Mohammad Gholami, have been added to the list.

Iran are preparing for the fourth and final stage of Asian World Cup qualifiers, starting in June. The draw will be made in Kuala Lumpur on Friday.

With no FIFA match days scheduled before the next qualifier, the short training camp for the young players in March and a training camp and a possible friendly by the end of May could be the only preparations for the crucial games in June.
