The head of Iran’s Football Federation replied in kind.
These tensions started when Persepolis players were fingerprinted and iris scanned upon arrival in Saudi Arabia back in March. The team officials initially refused to submit to the treatment, but after spending 8 hours at the Jeddah Airport, the team complied.

The legislators in Iran promised the same kind of treatment for the Saudi Arabian team al-Ittihad when it visits Tehran next week on May 3rd.
I just can’t wait to watch that match!
