Iran to Play Friendly Against Germany in Azadi Stadium

Mehr News – Iran will entertain the German football squad in a friendly in the 100,000-seater Azadi stadium, west of Tehran. 
Iran’s Football Federation president Mohammad Daadkan and the German federation secretary general Horst Schmidt agreed to hold a friendly on Oct. 9.

According to an agreement signed by the two sides, the game will kick off at 08:00 p.m. and some part of the gate will be given to charity for the quake-stricken people of Bam, southeast of Iran.
