About this match

Belgium and Iran meet again after the 2018 World Cup group stage, when the Belgians won 1-0 with a goal in the dying minutes, breaking Iranian hearts. Off the pitch, the contrast is stark: Brussels is the capital of the European Union, a symbol of integration, while Iran lives under geopolitical isolation. On the pitch, however, Team Melli has already proven they can compete as equals.
