FIFA President Gianni Infantino has welcomed the news of the release of two former IR Iran international players after they had been recently detained by Iranian authorities. “I am delighted that the two former IR Iran international players have been released from custody following their recent arrests,” the FIFA President said, after discussions took place with Iranian officials during the recent IR Iran versus Wales match at the Ahmad Bin Ali Stadium in Doha. “In taking this decision, I appreciate the support of the Iranian authorities, and in particular that of Hamid Sajjadi, the Iranian Minister of Sport and Youths, who I met around Iran’s match versus Wales. FIFA maintains that dialogue and engagement should remain as the prime channel to resolving problems of any kind.”
