| These are main reasons:
First of all none of Iranian teams can afford these teams' expenses. Awfully, Iranian teams can not urge a sponser to supply them for such a thing.
2- Copyright.
when milan, Madrid, Man U go to china or japan or Thailand their income rises too much due to sales of jersies.That thing is impossible in Iran because there is no copyright in Iran. You can find almost in every sport shop in Tehran a jersey of Manchester Utd., juventus, Milan, barcelona with a cheap price and with different brands. So there is not a benefit like this for those teams so they prefer going to the Far Eastern countries.
3. Lack of standard traing pitches.
4. Most of European football managers prefer to take their teams somewhere that is not involved in political problems. Even if they are aware of safety in Tehran but they prefer to take their fans somewhere that they can dink and also wear whatever they like.
If you remember, Bayern Munich came to Iran last year to have friendly match against Perspolice but they came in the morning and left after the match!
Finally I strongly agree with you Iranian are the most eager Asian people to see Milan or Real in Iran but that's not possible until the clubs become non-governmental and invest more in their pitches and facilities. And also Copyright becomes respectable in Iran.  |
