Long wait worth the shot at Asian glory for Iran's Persepolis


HONG KONG (Reuters) - Persepolis will have waited 11 weeks for their shot at glory by the time the Asian Champions League final kicks off but assistant coach Karim Bagheri told Reuters it will be worth it if they can bring the continental prize back to Iran.

The Iranian champions booked their place in the final in October but the disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic means they are still a long way from knowing who their opponents will be at Doha's Al Janoub Stadium on Dec. 19.
