MNA - Iran U-19 football coach Nenad Nikolic said on Tuesday that he is not ashamed of what he has done in the AFC championship.
“My team made so many mistakes in the event but I am not sorry to have this team. I feel no shame to come back to Tehran,” said the Croat.

More than 70 percent of this team will be selected for the 2012 London Olympic qualifications, according to Nikolic.

Iran was eliminated from the AFC U-19 Championship in Damman, Saudi Arabia, after suffering two consecutive defeats against Saudi Arabia and Japan and a consolation 2-0 victory over Yemen in Group A.
