Members of Iran's national soccer team were scheduled to take a direct flight to Basra, Iraq, for warm-up matches in Phifedi in November. The flight was approved last week, but on the eve of today's (Tuesday) flight, the Iraqi government announced that direct flights are not possible.
Due to the unavailability of a direct flight from Tehran to Basra, it was decided that the team members will fly to Abadan today and then travel to Basra by land.
