TEHRANTMES - Three Iranian football legends Ali Karimi, Vahid Hashemian and Mehdi Mahdavikia will officially bid farewell to Team Melli in a friendly match against South Korea on November 18th, the Iranian Football Federation announced.

The three players have previously played for Persepolis but finished their careers in silence without any decent farewell match.

Ali Karimi announced his retirement last month after publishing a letter on his Instagram account.
Vahid Hashemian has finished his career on his 36th birthday in July 2012 while Mehdi Mahdavikia announced his retirement on March 2013.
