Another expat player

January 03-2014

The Tehran Times says Coach Carlos Queiroz is trying to sign another expat to the national soccer team.  He is Aria Jasuru Hasegawa (photo), a Japanese soccer player born in Japan of an Iranian father and a Japanese mother.  Queiroz says it isn’t clear yet if Hasegawa, 25, is eligible to play for Iran under FIFA rules.  The team now has five expats on board: Ashkan Dejagah; Reza Ghoochan-nejad; Omid Nazari; Daniel Davari; and Steven Beitashour.  The last is from California.
