Iran's national football team is set to face Guinea-Bissau in its third friendly of the current international window, according to Mehr News.
The match comes as Iran looks to close out its preparations on a positive note after suffering defeats to Uzbekistan and Russia earlier in the window.
Testing squad depth
International friendlies outside major tournament windows are typically used by national coaching staffs to test squad depth, try new tactical approaches and assess players competing for places ahead of future competitive fixtures.
Guinea-Bissau's national team is a less frequent opponent for Iran, and the fixture offers a chance for the Iranian side to adjust its approach following the back-to-back losses.
Further details on the venue, date and squad selection for the Guinea-Bissau match were not included in the available reporting.
Iran's results in this window will be watched as part of its broader preparation cycle heading toward future international fixtures.
