PLDC - Tehran, Hossein Yaryar, The president of Iran's "Artists Team" has announced that they will play against Real Madrid on the month of Shahrivar of next year (Aug/Sep 2014).

Iran's artists (such as actors, hosts, etc.) have a select football team who play friendly games for charity every so often.  This club's president has announced that his team is scheduled to play a friendly match against the world-famous Real Madrid.

However, this match will not be played against Real Madrid's current roster, but a collection of their retired players.

Regarding this match against the Real Madrid legends, Yaryar said, "We have negotiated with them, and they have given us a positive response. This match will certainly happen."

Last year, a similar match between Persepolis and AC Milan took place in Azadi Stadium, and retired legends such as Maldini, Gattuso, Boban, and Rososneri played against the Red Army's legends from the past three decades.

In such fundraising matches, each participating team gets a portion of the proceeds and gives it to its own charities.
