Iranian national football team striker Sardar Azmoun has not been included in the squad for friendly matches ahead of the 2026 World Cup.
Idman.Biz reports this with reference to foreign media.
According to reports, the reason for this decision is suspicions that the footballer is not sufficiently loyal to the government.
It is reported that Azmoun's sharing of a photo on social media from his meeting with Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum caused discontent.
This incident coincided with a period of tension in relations between Iran and the UAE.
As a result, it is noted that the player's exclusion from the national team is precisely due to these factors.
