According to ISNA (http://www.isna.ir/news/NewsCont.asp?id=433726), the Iranian FA has protested to AFC regarding serveral "over-age players" in China and Qatar's squads. The Iranian coach says that he's sure there were 5 such players in Qatar's squad one of whom is reportedly 22 years old! So AFC is going to take some x-ray exams of both Chinese and Qatari players to determine their true age. Should there be even one over-age player in either China or Qatar's squads, Iran would be granted their spot in the next U-17 World Cup.
