TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Iran will start the AFC U-23 Championship Thailand 2020 Qualifiers on Friday with a match against Turkmenistan in Group C at Tehran’s Azadi Stadium.
Zlatko Kranjcar’s team will face Yemen and Iraq on Sunday and Tuesday.
The Qualifiers will see 43 teams jostling for 15 spots to next January's Finals, which will also serve as the qualifying round for the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games.
With Japan having confirmed their Olympic berth by virtue of being the host, three spots will be up for grabs in the AFC U-23 Championship Thailand 2020.
Iran has not qualified for the Olympic Games since 1976 in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
