L'Iran esclude Sardar Azmoun dalla rosa per la Coppa del Mondo

L'Iran ha escluso l'attaccante Sardar Azmoun dalla propria rosa per la Coppa del Mondo 2026. La decisione fa seguito a notizie di una presunta slealtà verso il governo.

Azmoun, che ha segnato 57 gol in 91 presenze internazionali, è stato escluso dalla rosa preliminare. Il trentunenne, che gioca negli Emirati Arabi Uniti, a marzo ha pubblicato su Instagram una foto con il sovrano degli Emirati, Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, il che avrebbe fatto infuriare le autorità iraniane. Il vicepresidente Abdolkarim Hosseinzadeh aveva chiesto la sua inclusione, ma l'appello non è stato ascoltato.
