PLDC - In a celebration held at the Iranian Football Federation headquarters
yesterday afternoon, the Iranian National Youth team was thanked and praised for the gold medal received at the 14th Asian Games in
Busan. A
number of prizes were also given to the team members. The only sad point of the event was the absence of the Croatian head coach of the National
Team (Branco Ivancovic) and the ex-head of the IFF (Safaei Farahani).
It was announced that the new head of the IFF would be chosen within two months from the date of the
celebration.
The 30 members of the National Team in Busan each received a deed to the new Samand car, 8 million Rials ($1000) in cash, a deed for Pride
with special discount from Saipa company, a trip to the holy Mecca (from
the Director of Bonyad Mostazafan Organization, Mr. Fourozandeh), a trip to the holy city of Karbala in Iraq (from the Physical Education
Department of the Basij Foundation, Mr. Mashayekhi).
