🔹 The head of the football association, in order to avoid the burden of responsibility for Omid's failure, claims that there is no history of support for Omid's team to participate in the 2026 Asian Games, but a review of the route from the previous period in Hangzhou to Nagoya shows the opposite.

The Omid Nagoya football team revived the memory of Jakarta and Incheon and left in the same group of the Asian Games. These results indicated the continuation of the cycle of failure of hope. Although the Hopes managed to advance from the group stage last season in Hangzhou, they lost in the quarter-finals against the Hong Kong team, which has no place in the first tier of Asian football, to prevent them from reaching the semi-finals.

In Nagoya, on the other hand, the Omid team returned to factory settings and, as in 2014 and 2018, withdrew from the group stage of the competition and did not reach the elimination stage. More than 20 years have passed since the bronze medal at the 2006 Asian Games in Doha, and football has not been able to return to Iran with a medal in the last 5 seasons.
