All weekend football matches in Tehran have been canceled due to severe air pollution in all age groups until Friday, December 14th. 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 relevant committees have issued a cancellation of inter-provincial matches in all youth and adult categories. The cancellation order was issued after an emergency meeting with Seyed Mirshad Majedi, the head of the Tehran Province Football Association.
The report adds that as of this moment, tomorrow’s match on Wednesday, December 12th, between Esteghlal and Mes Kerman has not been canceled by the league organization, which is responsible for hosting this match.
