A campaign has started amongst entertainers including Cinema and Theater artist, singers and directors in Iran in support of Team Melli.

The objective of the campaign is to increase awareness among the public to support Team Melli especially during the FIFA World Cup 2014. The number of artist supporting the campaign is on the rise with quite a few of them intending to travel to Brazil to cheer on Team Melli from the stands.

Niusha Zeighami , the leading lady star of Iranian cinema , is one of the campaigners. She recently spoke about the campaign and her personal interest in football. Zeighami stressed upon the point that support for Team Melli is a national and civic duty of every Iranian man and woman . When asked if she will be flying to Brazil in support of the team , she said “It does not matter if I am in Tehran or Brazil. The point is wherever I am , I am going to shout for the boys and cheer them on. There is a group of artist that are planning to go , but I am still occupied with some projects, however , If can get time off that project , I will certainly fly to Brazil with my husband”
