Both Team Melli and the Lions of Canaan start their 2023 Asian Cup campaigns in what is undoubtedly set to be a highly charged and emotional affair at Education City.

Iran are one of the tournament favourites and Sunday’s opponents from Palestine have had to prepare in exile using Saudi Arabia and Algeria as Israeli bombs rain down on Gaza on a daily basis.

Palestine veteran, Mohammed Rashid speaking earlier this week to Italy’s Gazzetta dello Sport admitted that the task of focusing on football was a tall task as every players consult their phones they are informed of more deaths of neighbours or family.
