The Iranian Football Federation sent a New Year greeting to their Israeli counterpart. Officials in Tehran said it was a mistake. The director of foreign relations for the Football Federation of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Mohammad Ali Ardebili, quickly responded to Israeli Army Radio that he did not mean to send the greeting to the Israel Football Association.
The greeting was received by the head of the Israel Football Association’s legal department, Amir Navon. Navon said they replied to the greeting with a “happy new year to all the good people of Iran,” and said: “We also added a wink.”
