The Iraqi government prevented the direct escape of the Iranian team.
According to the consultations, the Iranian national football team was scheduled to leave for Basra, Iraq on a special flight from Maharabad Airport at 12 noon today to hold 2 warm-up matches.
However, with about an hour left to this hour, the Iraqis objected to giving a final flight permit, and for this reason the members of the national team had not yet left the Olympic Hotel, thus delaying the flight to Iraq.
Of course, the members of the team are trying if the direct flight is cancelled, this group will fly to Ibadan today and travel to Basra by land.
