PLDC - Tehran, The recent events between Esteghlal and Team Melli concerning the failure of this club to assign 4 players to Team Melli camp in South Africa, led to taking sides against each other.

In this vein, Ali Fathollahzadeh as the CEO of Esteghlal explained the condition of his club and asked Queiroz to stop demoralizing Esteghlal club. On the other hand, in an interview Carlos Queiroz stated that the CEO of Esteghlal is not allowed to insult him and it is the Esteghlal that is great and not Fathollahzadeh. These deployments resulted in reactions from the two parties.

Ali Fathollahzadeh announced that he had officially complained of Queiroz to FIFA for his insults and he wanted to follow the case to the end.

Now, whether this case concerns FIFA or not is not clear; we must wait to see the results.
