No Real Madrid Academy in Iran, Official Says
TEHRAN (Tasnim) - Director of Iran Football Academy, Mohammad Hossein Alizadeh, said Spain's Real Madrid football club is not going to establish an academy in Iran.
“Some Real Madrid officials visited Iran Football Academy and also had a meeting with Iranian veteran football players and actors, but there is no communication between two parties to establish an academy in Iran," Alizadeh said on Sunday.
"They just visited our facilities as the guests,” Alizadeh added.
“We need permission from Iran football federation or other organizations to establish an academy in Iran. The federation didn't know anything about this” he added.
