Team Melli had its last training session on January 15 before facing the Iraqi national team at the Asia Cup in Dubai. Iran has six points so far, and will proceed to the next level — and the team only needs to tie to proceed as the top team in the group. However, the last time the team faced Iraq four years ago in the same tournament, they lost, meaning the game holds great significance for the them. Manager Carlos Queiroz told the media that today's training was specifically tailored to the Iran-Iraq game. Reporters and fans were only allowed in the stadium to watch 15 minutes of practice.
