Iraq's Al Shorta file complaint against Esteghlal to FIFA

Iraqi football team Al-Shorta filed a complaint with the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) against Esteghlal of Iran after they drew 1-1 in a Monday match.

The complaint is about the presence of Armin Sohrabian in Esteghlal’s squad in last night’s AFC Champions League Elite match. Shorta claims that Sohrabian has played for three different teams this season and that his presence in Esteghlal’s squad is against FIFA rules. According to international rules, a player can sign with three clubs during a season but only play for two.

The case is set to be reviewed by the AFC and the results will be announced.
