Iran’s last win was June 2026 vs Mail in a friendly! Iran’s last competitive match win was June 2025 vs North Korea (WC qualifiers) ... I don’t get how we are so favoured by FIFA when it comes to fifa ranking… all of these teams below us from 24th-40th on paper are way better than us! Even based of most recent performance which matters most for FIFA rankings … we lost both friendlies 3-1 vs Uzbekistan (ranked 59!) and Russia 2-0 (ranked 35th!)

Bias aside where do you think this current Iran be ranked?

For me hands down Ashkan Dejagah (not even close) (he joined team meli at the age of 25 in 2012) but if we had him for the World Cup 2010 cycle we would have easily qualified… think about having Nekounam, M Shojae, Dejagah all in their prime together dam 🔥 what we missed out on…
