However, while the team prepares for the upcoming matches, players are facing threats from agents. Recent that some agents are pressuring players to pay money, or else they will be kept on the bench.
One of the Iran national team players decided to join a new team after his contract with the previous team ended. However, his former agent demanded a share of his new contract. When the player refused, the agent threatened to create conditions that would keep the player out of the starting lineup and even bench him.
These threats represent a new form of pressure on Iranian football players. Players should be able to make decisions about their professional future without worrying about the reaction of an agent. This issue could negatively impact the performance of players and the national team.
The responsible football authorities should not be indifferent to this issue. If these claims are true, necessary actions should be taken to prevent such pressures. Players should be able to continue training and competing without fear of threats from agents.
In their last match, they drew 1-1 with Egypt and have recorded 1 win, 4 draws, and 0 losses in their last 5 games.
