Iran's Croatian coach Branko Ivankovic said his team would take on his fellow countrymen in Zagreb on 28 May followed by a match against Bosnia-Herzegovina at home in Tehran on 31 May.
"By then we will have played enough warm-up matches and will be ready for the World Cup," Ivankovich told Iranian state television.
Arranging FIFA World Cup warm-ups has been a problem for Iran, particularly on home soil, with many international sides apparently reluctant to travel to Iran amid mounting tensions over the country's disputed nuclear programme.
Iran begin their FIFA World Cup campaign against Mexico in Nuremberg on 11 June with further Group D games against Portugal and Angola. |
