Now the round of 12 may usher in a big reversal, Asia's number one Iran, the fastest situation will be SUSPENDed by FIFA, thus missing the 2022 World Cup, due to the refusal of female fans to enter the game to watch the game, and the police expulsion of violent acts, waiting for FIFA's investigation.
In this round of 12, Iran played a stable, three rounds of early qualification, became the first team in the round of 12 to qualify for the World Cup, scored 25 points in 10 rounds, lost only 5 points against South Korea, and won against Syria, the United Arab Emirates, Lebanon and Iraq, worthy of the status of the first in Asia.
Iran will have a direct connection to the World Cup, without having to participate in the play-offs like the United Arab Emirates and Australia, waiting for the group draw for the World Cup this Friday night.
Now whether Iran will successfully participate in the 2022 World Cup, there is a certain suspense. According to reports, in the last round of Iran's home match against Lebanon, about 2,000 female fans came to the stadium after buying tickets, but they were banned from entering, causing riots at the scene, and the police also used pepper spray on female fans to drive away female fans who protested.
Foreign media RMC said FIFA has expressed concern about the incident and asked for an explanation, and issued a statement expressing concern that Iran has once again refused to allow women to enter the football stadium to watch the match between its national team and Lebanon.
Therefore, Iran does not rule out being banned by FIFA and thus missing the qatar World Cup finals, so who will make up for the competition has attracted much attention. After this news was reported, some relevant institutions offered 1 to 100 odds for Italy's substitute players who were eliminated in the European World Preliminary Tournament play-offs, and the probability of 1% was very small and could not be ruled out.
Of course, Iran is banned, and the most likely to make up for the competition should be Asian teams, such as the UAE gang or Australia, such as letting the winners of Australia and the UAE replace Iran in the World Cup, and the losing team and the South American team to participate in the intercontinental play-offs.
