Iran jersey in 2022 world cup symbolizes unity

The jersey for Iran’s national football team to be worn in the upcoming World Cup was officially unveiled at the Milad Tower International Conference Center on Tuesday evening.

Sports Minister Hamid Sajjadi, Head of Iran football federation Mehdi Taj and the players of Iran’s national football team took part in the event.

During the unveiling ceremony, Vahid Amiri, as the representative of the players, read out his teammates’ covenant.

Iran has also unveiled kits for fans of Team Melli in the Qatar World Cup.

The jersey named “Pirouz” has been released in a ceremony attended by Seyyed Majid Emami, the head of a workgroup for fashion and clothing in Iran.

Amitis Mashayekhi, the designer of the kits for fans of Team Melli told Mehr that Iranians’ unity has been highlighted in the design.

All provinces have been fairly considered in the design, he said, noting that no specific province has been taken into more consideration.

“Pirouz”, meaning “victorious” in Farsi, is the lone surviving Asiatic cheetah cub.

The images designed on the shirt that show Iran’s provinces represent the skin of an Asiatic cheetah.

The whole of the Iranian nation is synonymous with a cheetah.

The Caspian Sea and the Persian Gulf are seen on the top and bottom parts of the design.

The 6 lines shown in the kits represent 6 presences of Team Melli in the world Cups.

In Iran, the cheetah is also bound to cultural and social meanings.

In 2014, the Iranian national football team announced that their 2014 FIFA World Cup and 2015 AFC Asian Cup kits are imprinted with pictures of the Asiatic cheetah to bring attention to conservation efforts.
