Iran to Play South Africa in Friendly


TEHRAN (Tasnim) – The South Africa Football Association (SAFA) is working around the clock to secure an international friendly match against Iran in Doha.

SA will meet Morocco in its opening Afcon qualifier in Rabat next Thursday.

Coach Hugo Broos revealed Bafana may stay over in Doha on its way back to SA to take on Iran on June 13.

“There is a big chance that on the 13th we can play Iran in Doha because we are traveling to Morocco via Doha,” Broos said.

“Maybe when we come back from Morocco we will stay a few days in Doha to play there against Iran, but at the moment it is not definite because nothing has been finalized.”
