Iran will go head to head with Russia on February 9, 2011 in Dubai, the UAE.
“We had reached an agreement with the team before they were chosen to host the 2018 World Cup. Also Iran’s Under-23 team will play Russia’s U-23 team there,” Abbas Torabian Director of the International Committee of Iran Football Federation (IFF) said.
Afshin Ghotbi has said he will not be Iran football coach after the 2011 AFC Asian Cup which will be held in January. This means the Persians will be led by a new coach in their match facing Russia.
