According to Univision the game is scheduled for June 7th in Tehran. Irán quiere jugar con Uruguay Accedieron a pagar 200 mil dólares EFE 1 de Mayo de 2007 Previo a Copa América Uruguay jugará ante Australia MONTEVIDEO - La Asociación Uruguaya de Fútbol (AUF) recibió un ofrecimiento para que la selección de Uruguay juegue un partido amistoso frente a la de Irán en el mes de junio, informaron fuentes de la institución.

If this is true, then it's beyond hope !? I would've never thought we'd get 2 quality opponents in a row, even more so under Ghalenoui. We did'nt get these friendlies even for the WC.
Well unlike the World Cup you don’t have politicians pushing to ban Iran. You notice how these games are suddenly happened right after the US made an announcement about inviting Iranian athletes to the US?
errr.. excuse me. According to the news from Copa America official site it says Uruguay v Australia as the south american team's last warm-up match. So which info is right? http://www.copaamerica.com/?lingua=en (Uruguay name their main players)
As you know on June 2nd, Iran is playing a friendly against Mexico in Mexico while Uruguay playing Australia in Australia. Both teams would like to fly right back home and play another friendly with a quality opponent at home to prevent extra travelling, time zone change, hotels,... for their players. While Iran invited the Uruguy team to Tehran, Uruguay responded by inviting Iran to play in their country (since Iran is already in Mexico). Neither team, rightfully so, found the benefits overcoming all the difficulties.
It only says that the Uruguayan football federation has received an offer from IFF to play a friendly. It says nothing about anything being confirmed or planned.
www.rpp.com.pe/portada/deportes/78956_1.php Iran v Uruguay confirmed by Uruguayan Football Federation, but they will not play with their best players.
So this would be 3 games in 5 days for Uruguay in 3 different countries. I wonder what kind of performance they can give in that third game.
