    Commentary No.297 Wednesday, 12 August 2015 Ethnic Tensions Spill onto Iranian Soccer Pitches James M. Dorsey Nanyang Technological University, Singapore gainst a backdrop of the violent redrawing of the map of the Middle East as minorities assert their rights, rebels challenge the existing order, and militant Islamists seek to carve A up the post-colonial order, Iranian soccer pitches are signalling that the Islamic republic is not totally immune to the region’s upheaval. To be sure, the territorial integrity of Iran which unlike countries like Syria and Iraq boasts a strong state, rooted institutions, an imperial history and a culture that dates back hundreds of years, is nowhere close to being called into question. Yet, soccer fans in different parts of Iran populated by ethnic minorities as well as protesters in Kurdish regions of the country are demanding rights and in some cases hinting at a desire to break away from the Islamic republic. In the latest incident, soccer fans took to the streets of Tabriz, the capital of East Azerbaijan province, and other cities in the province, according to opposition groups, in protest against what they see as political interference in the Iranian Premier League final between Tractor Sazi Tabriz FC, a symbol of Iranian Azeri identity, and Naft Tehran FC, owned by the National Iranian Oil Company (NIOC) to prevent the Azeri club from clinching this year’s trophy. The protests centre on a decision by the referee in the last 20 minutes of the game to give a red card to Traktor Sazi midfielder Andranik Teymourian, which allowed Naft Tehran to turn defeat into a tie.

  • Al Rawi the Hero As Qatar Reach Quarters
    SPORT Wednesday 23 January 2019 PAGE | 08 PAGE | 10 Indian skipper Ruthless Nadal Virat Kohli cruises into sweeps top last four of ICC awards Australian Open AFC Asian Cup: Al Annabi defeat former champions Iraq 1-0 Al Rawi the hero as Qatar reach quarters THE PENINSULA / AFC ABU DHABI Qatari players celebrate after Bassam Al Rawi scored a goal during their AFC Asian Cup Round of 16 match against Iraq, played at the Al Nahyan Stadium, in Abu Dhabi, yesterday. A superbly struck free-kick by Bassam Al Rawi yesterday guided Qatar into the last- eight of the AFC Asian Cup quarter-finals. Al Rawi produced the match-winner in the 62nd minute with a free kick that dipped in ate to beat goalkeeper Jalal Hassan Hachem as Qatar stunned the 2007 cham- pions 1-0 at Al Nahyan Stadium in Abu Dhabi. It was the fourth successive win for Qatar, coached by Felix Sanchez. Qatar, who topped Group E, beat Lebanon, North Korea and Saudi Arabia before edging past a determined Iraq yesterday. In the quarter-final on Friday, Qatar will take on Korea who yesterday beat Bahrain in the round of 16. Despite Iraq’s industrious start to the game, it was Qatar who spurned the first genuine opportunity when 2018 AFC Player of the Year Abdelkarim Hassan rattled the bar with a shot from close-range following Abdelaziz Hatim’s cross in only the fourth minute. As Qatar continued to press in the opening stages, a well-placed Hatim came close to connecting with Hasan’s whipped delivery, only for goalkeeper Saad Al Sheeb to then dive bravely at the feet of an onrushing Mohanad Ali to repel Iraq’s opening attack of the tie.
