Iran take on Nigeria in Antalya, Turkey on Friday in an international friendly match.
The prospect of Iran withdrawing from the World Cup this summer due to the conflict in the Middle East remains, but the team is continuing with preparations even if a game on home soil is not presently possible.
The Super Eagles failed to qualify for the World Cup, so little more than pride is at stake for Eric Chelle and his players.
The Sporting News will provide live score updates from the game.
