Iran Football Chief Taj Invites FIFA President Infantino to Lahijan
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Head of the Iran Football Federation Mehdi Taj invited FIFA President Gianni Infantino to Lahijan, in northern Iran's Gilan province.
Infantino published a story on social media Saturday, hailing a football pitch in the Iranian city.
“Iran loves football and this pitch in a village near Lahijan, Gilan, captured wonderfully by Mehrdad Gerami, is a fitting representation of their passion for our beautiful game. Football is for everyone, everywhere,” Infantino wrote.
Taj wrote in a letter sent to Infantino, “I would like to express our gratitude for the publishing of the picture of the football field in one of the cities of Iran (Lahijan) on your Instagram page. We will be happy you see the football-friendly region during your stay in Iran and get to know the attractions of Lahijan.”
