All weekend football matches in Tehran across all age groups have been canceled until Friday, December 14th due to severe air pollution. Additionally, team practices have also been canceled.
According to Borna News Agency, following the persistent air pollution in Tehran Province and the closure of schools and offices, the Medical Committee of the Tehran Province Football Association and other related committees have issued a cancellation of inter-provincial matches in all youth and adult categories. The order to cancel the games was issued after an emergency meeting with Seyed Mirshad Majedi, the head of the Tehran Province Football Association.
The report adds that as of now, the match between Esteghlal and Mes Kerman scheduled for tomorrow, Wednesday, December 12th, has not been canceled by the League Organization, which is responsible for organizing this game.
