IRNA - Esteqlal and Persepolis will take over
100,000 die-hard fans out of their homes on Sunday, June 8.
Known as blue and red, the two popular sides are to pit their players in the 24th week of Iran Pro League (IPL) in the
newly-repaired Azadi Stadium, 10 km west of Tehran, announced the public relations manager of IPL Organization on Sunday.
Talking to IRNA, Alireza Kord added the president of Iran's Football Federation (IFF) ordered to reschedule the eagerly-awaited
