Persepolis Regroups: Friendly Match Scheduled After Official Postponement
Match Postponement Due to National Team Commitments
A scheduled cup match between Persepolis and Tractor has been officially postponed. The fixture, which was set to take place as part of the domestic cup competition, was deferred to a later date. This decision was made in consideration of the significant number of players from both clubs who are currently serving on the national team, alongside the tight schedule of the national team’s own upcoming match against Uzbekistan.
Strategic Pause for the League Campaign
With this postponement, the focus for manager Osmar’s squad immediately shifts to their crucial upcoming league match against Shams Azar. This fixture is of high importance for Persepolis’s standing in the league table. However, the unexpected break in their official match calendar carries the risk of disrupting the team’s competitive rhythm and momentum.
A Proactive Measure to Maintain Momentum
To counter this potential disruption and ensure the team remains in peak condition, manager Osmar formally requested the club’s management to arrange a preparatory friendly match. In response to this strategic move, the club has confirmed that Persepolis will take to the pitch tomorrow for a friendly encounter. The team is scheduled to face a club from either the first or second division, providing a vital opportunity for the players to maintain their match fitness and tactical sharpness. This friendly is designed to ensure the squad enters next week’s official league match with the necessary preparedness and focus.
