Asian Qualifiers: Iran prepare to welcome UAE

The Iranian National team are gearing up to welcome the United Arab Emirates in a Group A encounter at the Azadi Stadium.

Team Melli had become the 1st nation to confirm their place in Qatar 2022, following a 1-0 win over arch-rivals Iraq in the Asian Qualifiers. With the victory, Iran secured a spot at the World Cup for the 3rd time in a row.

Meanwhile Dragan Skocic and his men head into Tuesday's encounter unbeaten in each of their last 14 outings picking-up an impressive 13 wins and one draw since a 2-1 defeat against Iraq back in 2019.

Iran will not have the services of Shoja Khalilzadeh and Saeed Ezatolahi. The top 2 finishers in each of the Asian Qualifying Groups will go straight to the finals in Qatar.
