00:00They are our member. We want them to play.
00:03They qualified. They always qualify first.
00:06Iran, one of the top teams.
00:08And we want them to play as well.
00:10So we hope that they will solve their issues, whatever it is,
00:15and be able to participate in the World Cup.
00:18For World Cup, we are directly dealing with them.
00:20But they occupy the AFC's quota.
00:22We are monitoring whether they are playing or not.
00:24But at the moment, there are no official information that they are not playing.
00:30There are already rules in FIFA how to replace them, so it's not there yet.
00:34Anyway, as far as we know, Iran is playing.
00:36We have not heard anything from the Federation.
00:38We have heard from other people, but the Federation said they are playing.
00:42It's a very emotional moment. Everybody is saying a lot of things.
00:45At the end of the day, it's a Federation who should decide if they are playing.
00:48And as of today, the Federation has told us that they are going to the World Cup.
