Mehdi Taj, the President of the Football Federation, in response to the news of the possible removal of Iran from the Qatar World Cup, said:
All Iranians around the world want the national team to participate and succeed in the World Cup. When the national team wins, even those in America speak Persian for a day or two and display the Iranian flag at their homes and shops.
I haven’t heard any credible news about the removal of Iran’s national team or any of the 32 teams qualified for the Qatar World Cup, and I have no evidence that this is going to happen.
