FIFA World Cup: 24 Years Later, Abedzadeh And Reyna Set To Repeat Family History

By IANS News November 29, 2022 • 17:46 PM View: 293

Iran's Amir Abedzadeh and USA's Giovanni Reyna face each other 24 years after their fathers Ahmad Reza Abedzadeh and Claudio Reyna played in the same fixture in France 1998.

When the draw for the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 was made nearly eight months ago, Iran vs USA was one of the standout fixtures of the group stage, brining back a feeling of déjà vu for when the two sides faced-off in a politically charged encounter in Lyon's Stade de Gerland which saw the Iranians emerge 2-1 winners.
