Michael van Praag will be accompanied by Johan van Geijn, who is head of international Assistance programs in Africa, Asia and the Caribbean at the Royal Netherlands Football Association (KNVB).

Iran U-23 football team had held a training camp in the Netherlands in September ahead of the AFC U-23 Championships.

The Iranian football federation has already signed MoU with Italy, the UAE, Japan, Norway and Belarus federations.
