Diary

Friday, 11 November 2022 - Iran's Head Coach Carlos Queiroz releases the names of a 29-man provisional squad.

Sunday, 13 November 2022 - Instead of the permitted 26-man squad, Queiroz has named just 25 for the World Cup Finals which start in eight days for Iran. The four men that drop out are goalkeeper Mohammad Reza Akhbari, centre-back Saman Fallah, defensive midfielder Omid Noorafkan, and midfielder Milad Sarlak.

Wednesday, 16 November 2022 - Iran 0 Tunisia 2 - Carols Queiroz is undeterred by the result, even if it was not ideal preparation and instead insisted on the huge positive of having all his players together in the behind-closed-doors friendly. Following a goalless first half, Tunisia opened the scoring from a Naim Sliti penalty kick, after Ablofazl Jalali was penalised for handling in the area, and was sent-off. With the numerical advantage, Tunisia added to their tally with a second goal from Ali Abdi.
