It is my understanding that Iran has brought its u23 team to this event, whereas the other nations are using their full international team. Is this correct?
yes iran brought u23 in order to prepare u23 for upcoming asian games in busan... it blew up in our face... our u23 sort of sux...lol
I don't know much about Jordan, but I think U23 teams should always expect to lose against senior sides. I know Iran is the power of the Middle East, but men will almost always beat boys, even if the boys are somewhat more talented.
