The Iranian Football Federation recently confirmed a friendly match with Chile, scheduled for October 14, as reported by FIFA. However, the match has now been canceled. Pablo Milad, the president of the Chilean Football Federation, stated in a radio interview that while they had agreed to play against Iran, recent events, specifically the military actions by Israel against the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, led to the decision to withdraw from the match. Chile has finalized other friendly matches in November against Peru and Russia instead.
