This match is scheduled to take place on October 8, and following that, Gol Gohar is preparing for a crucial match in the AFC Champions League.
Match to be held in Oman
The Gol Gohar team, as the representative of Iran, is set to face Al-Muharraq of Bahrain in the second week of the group stage of the AFC Champions League. Initially, it was planned for this match to be held in Bahrain, but due to issues with the visa issuance for the Gol Gohar team members, the Asian Football Confederation decided to move this match to a neutral country. Ultimately, Oman has been chosen as the venue for the match.

Challenges for the Gol Gohar team's travel
Despite the Asian Football Confederation's decision, the Gol Gohar team still faces challenges regarding travel to Oman. Due to flight restrictions, the possibility of using a direct flight to Oman is very low. In this regard, two options for the team's travel to Oman have been considered: traveling to Najaf or Istanbul. This has raised concerns about the timing and conditions of the team's travel.
The match date between Gol Gohar and Al-Muharraq is set for October 14 at 19:30 local time. It seems that this match, given its importance in the group stage of the AFC Champions League, is significant for both teams, and Gol Gohar is looking to achieve a favorable result in this encounter.
