1. Football was introduced toIranby English petroleum workers in the 19th century. The game's popularity started in the southern region of Khuzestan and then quickly spread throughout the country.Iranplayed their first match ever in the thick of World War II, against the Afghan National Team in 1941 inAfghanistan, and their first official FIFA match nine years later inTurkey.
1、足球這項(xiàng)運(yùn)動(dòng)是英國石油工人在19世紀(jì)帶到伊朗的。起初，這一賽事盛行于伊朗南部的胡澤斯坦省，之后迅速在全國流行開來。1941年正值二戰(zhàn)期間，伊朗在阿富汗和阿富汗國家隊(duì)進(jìn)行了首場(chǎng)比賽。九年之后，伊朗在土耳其第一次參加國際足聯(lián)舉辦的比賽。

Many of the most technical players in Iranian football history, such as Gholam Hossein Mazloomi, Abdolreza Barzegari and current star Masoud Soleimani Shojaei, have come fromAbadanand other southern cities.

To this day, Khuzestan is referred to as the "Brazil of Iran" by many Iranian soccer fans.
