Secretary: I could have been the president of the football association, but I wasn't interested!
Alireza Davir said about his interest in football and the possibility of participating in this field:
I'm very interested in watching football, and if I wanted to, I could come to the presidency, but I wasn't interested.
Should I bring a Koran? Did I say I like football? I'm never interested in playing football. Did I want to, didn't I? I'm not really interested and it's not like I act in movies. Even when they offered me to head the National Olympic Committee, I said I was not interested. Everyone knows I'm not a liar and I speak honestly. I just like watching football.
