TEHRAN (Tasnim) – The Asian Football Confederation (AFC) has confirmed that the upcoming match between Persepolis of Iran and Al Nassr of Saudi Arabia will take place at the Azadi Stadium in Tehran on February 18.
The AFC Competition Committee has granted Persepolis the right to host this crucial game at the home ground.
Persepolis aims to maximize attendance by allocating as much of the stadium’s capacity as possible to its fans. However, ongoing renovations on the southern side of the stadium mean that this section will likely remain closed for this match.
This game marks Persepolis’s final home match in the AFC Champions League Elite, and coach Ismail Kartal’s team needs a victory to maintain its chances of advancing in the competition.
