The Saudi channel revealed a shocking decision that awaits Saudi victory if it refuses to travel to Iran to participate in the independence match.
She explained that Al-Nasr requested that the Esteghlal match be moved to a neutral stadium away from Iran, but no response to this request reached the Saudi club’s management.
