Call for Expert Feedback

The committee has invited academics, professionals, and football stakeholders to review the draft and submit their comments by email to [email-masked] within one week of the announcement.

All submissions will be reviewed by the department’s expert panel, and feasible recommendations may be incorporated into the final version.

This initiative marks a significant step toward institutionalizing financial governance in Iranian football, ensuring long-term sustainability and alignment with international standards.
