PLDC - Tehran, Carlos Queiroz will arrive in Tehran on Monday morning after his few week leave.

Ali Kaffashian had announced that the Team Melli coach would arrive in Tehran on Saturday, September 28th, but it is now clear that he won't reach Iran until Monday.

Tonight, Queiroz will arrive in Dubai and spend a day there, then he will leave for Tehran.

As for a friendly to prepare for the Asian Cup qualification match against Thailand, Queiroz had asked the federation to contact Hong Kong to arrange a match,  but things did not work out.

Iran had the chance to play a friendly with several Arabic countries, but the Team Melli boss refused to proceed with arranging such matches. Yet again, Team Melli will face Thailand in Azadi on October 15th, without having played a single friendly match to prepare with; Team Melli also played the last three matches of the 2014 World Cup qualifications, without a single friendly match before them.
