Mehdi Taremi has plenty of experience in playing in major competitions like the AFC Asian Cup and will be looking to inspire Iran to fight for the championship.
He has scored 41 goals in 74 appearances for Iran and can be a thorn for any defender.
The 31-year-old amassed an impressive 12 international goals during the 2023 calendar year, which included hat-tricks against Afghanistan and Kyrgyz Republic in the CAFA (Central Asian Football Association) Nations Cup in June and goals against Hong Kong and Uzbekistan in November.
The AFC Asian Cup Qatar 2023 promises plenty of goals as Qatar is set to host 51 thrilling matches in the continental showpiece, starting with the curtain raiser between the hosts and Lebanon on Friday and culminating in the final on February 10.
