An analysis of the roster released on Saturday revealed that 3 goalkeepers, 12 defenders, 8 midfielders and 5 attackers were picked by manager Carlos Queiroz.
It is very surprising that the Portuguese gaffer did not include one of the poster boys of Asian football, Ali Karimi plus experienced attacking midfielder Mohammad Nouri in the roster.
On Monday, the players will leave Iran for a training camp in South Africa, where they are scheduled to play tune up games against some local teams and the Mozambique National Team.
The professional players based in Europe will join the squad at their training camp in Austria next month.
