Iran will play a friendly football match against Tunisia here in the North African country on March 23, prior to the 2018 World Cup, according to the Tunisian Football Association on Sunday.
The match will take place at the Hedi Ennaifer stadium in Le Bardo district, west of the Tunisian capital, reports Efe.
The friendly match was requested by the Iranians due to their game similarity with the Moroccan national squad.
Morocco, apart from playing against Iran, will also be Spain's first 2018 World Cup rival team in Saint Petersburg on June 15.
The Iranians have scheduled another six friendly matches, including with two other North African teams -- Libya on March 14 and Algeria on March 27 -- with both matches to take place in Tehran.
Tunisia are due to play within the Russia 2018 G group along with England, Belgium and Panama.
