The Dream Team

During the late 60's and the 70's the Iranian national team delivered variable performances, reaching excellent results in some championships, but losing a number of crucial games in Asian and international tournaments which has left the Iranian side without a championship title during this period of time. However, the Iranian side has always showed strong performance and amazing will, which often secured them top spots among the leading teams of Asia. Nader played with two generations of great players. The early years remember prominent names like
