According to Varzesh 3, Tractor finally departed from Tabriz for the UAE this morning on a direct charter flight, resolving one of the team's most significant concerns ahead of its crucial Asian fixture.
This trip took place while the issue of issuing a direct flight permit had turned into one of the main topics surrounding Iran's representative in the AFC Champions League Elite over the past few days.
Hojjat Karimi, the CEO of Tractor, announced last night in the first episode of the new season of the program "Barjam" that the flight issue had been resolved and stated that the red-clad team of Tabriz would head directly to the UAE.
The saga of Tractor's trip reached its final days as club managers had emphasized that they would not be willing to travel to the UAE if the direct flight permit was not issued. The previous exhausting and multi-stage trip of Iran's representative to Oman had also intensified the dissatisfaction of the Tractor contingent; a grueling journey that had raised concerns about the recurrence of such conditions prior to the match against Al Ain.
Ultimately, following the pursuits carried out, the direct travel issue was resolved so that the Tractor delegation could depart from Tabriz to the UAE without needing to repeat that long route.
Tractor will face UAE's Al Ain on Monday, October 26 at 19:30 Iran time in the third week of the AFC Champions League Elite. The Tabrizi reds must now, following the end of the travel-related controversies, put all their focus on a match that holds great importance for them from an Asian standpoint.
