Iran has banned national and club sports teams from travelling to ‌countries it considers hostile until further notice, Iranian media reported on Thursday citing the Sports Ministry, ⁠which said the move was due to concerns over the safety of Iranian athletes.

"The presence of national and club teams in countries considered hostile and unable to ‌ensure ⁠the security of Iranian athletes and team members is prohibited until further notice," the ⁠ministry said.

The ministry added that the Football Federation and clubs ⁠are required to notify the Asian Football Confederation ⁠to relocate match venues.
