TEHRAN, Oct. 08 (MNA) – Asian Football Confederation (AFC) has announced that the World Cup qualifying match between Iran and Qatar, originally scheduled to take place at the Emam Reza Stadium in Mashhad, Iran, will be held in a neutral country.
AFC has decided to change the field after Iran launched dozens of missiles toward Tel Aviv last week, Tehran Times reported.
The Iranian football federation must introduce a neutral field until Wednesday.
Team Melli (the national Iranian team) will meet Uzbekistan in Group A on Thursday at the Bunyodkor Stadium and the stadium could be one of Iran’s options for the match against Qatar.
