PLDC - As Iran prepares for the 2026 World Cup, new reports suggest a possible return for Sardar Azmoun to the national team.
The Shabab Al Ahli striker, who has been absent from recent camps, has recently signaled interest in returning by updating his social media profile with a national team image. His absence has created challenges for head coach Amir Ghalenoei.
Mediation efforts are reportedly underway, with Hadi Saei involved in discussions with Sports Minister Ahmad Donyamali.
However, unresolved issues—including legal matters and official approvals—mean no final decision has been made yet.
