A few days ago, we saw the release of Yahya Golmohammadi’s 30-man list for the first camp of the Omid team at the National Football Center. The training of this team has been followed in the last 48 hours and the players invited by Yahya are gradually added to the camp. But the news indicates that the Omid team will leave Tehran for Isfahan on Saturday and they will face Sepahan in a friendly match on Sunday evening. The team under the leadership of Moharram Navidkia has had a brilliant performance in the current season and has been at the top of the table with several high-scoring victories.
Yahya Golmohammadi has come to the conclusion that the best possible option for the preparatory game is to face Sepahan and the agreements in this regard have been made between the two technical staffs. In this way, the Omid team will be based in Isfahan on a trip of about two days, and a friendly match will also be played between the Yahya team and Moharram Navidkia.
The Football Federation made a lot of effort to prepare some friendly matches, including trips to Oman and Iraq or even the presence of the Russian Omid team in Tehran. But in the end, this process did not end and now the Omid team will face the current leader of the Premier League. Interestingly, during the presence of Yahya Golmohammadi and Moharram Navidkia as head coaches of Persepolis and Sepahan, these two teams faced each other in a friendly match a few years ago. There is a good relationship between Yahya and Moharram Navidkia, and Team Omid will play against Sepahan in the first step under Yahya’s supervision.
