Carlos Queiroz invited 19 players to join Team Melli Training camp , which will start immediately without Legionnaire players and expected to continue training in the UAE as of next Tuesday.

It is still not clear if the match against Morocco is On or not. As always , FFIRI has a dysfunctional PR that refuses to  give any details and leave the media speculating or seeking news about its own national team from foreign sources.

Three uncapped players were named in the squad ; Ehsan Pahlavan ,  Morteza Tabrizi (Zob Ahan) and Vahid Mohammadzadeh (Saipa Alborz) 

It is not clear if any of the legionnaires will be joining the squad despite the fact that most European are in the middle of the winter break. is
