The '''Football Federation Islamic Republic of Iran''' ('''FFIRI'''; {{langx|fa|فدراسیون فوتبال جمهوری اسلامی ایران}}, ''Fadrasion fotbal Jamehori Eslami Iran'') is the governing body for [[football (soccer)|football]] in [[Iran]]. It was founded in 1920.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.fifa.com/associations/association=irn/|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070603155130/http://www.fifa.com/associations/association=irn/|url-status=dead|archive-date=June 3, 2007|title=Member Association – Iran}}</ref> The federation has been a member of [[FIFA]] since 1948 and a member of the [[Asian Football Confederation]] since 1958.{{fact|date=December 2023}}

==History==
In 2001, Iran were founding members of the [[West Asian Football Federation]], along with [[Iraq Football Association|Iraq]], [[Jordan Football Association|Jordan]], [[Lebanese Football Association|Lebanon]], [[Palestinian Football Association|Palestine]], and [[Syrian Football Association|Syria]].{{fact|date=December 2023}}

==Controversies==
On 23 November 2006, the federation was suspended by [[FIFA]],<ref>{{cite web |title=FIFA suspends Iran Football Federation |url=https://www.fifa.com/worldfootball/releases/newsid=107801.html |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120511050917/http://www.fifa.com/worldfootball/releases/newsid=107801.html |archive-date=May 11, 2012 |access-date=17 March 2018 |website=fifa.com}}</ref> due to government interference in football matters. FIFA rules decree that a national football federation should remain autonomous from the national government. However, on 17 December 2006, the ban was lifted and a new Transitory Board was composed.

During the [[2009 Iranian election protests]], seven members of the [[Iran national football team]] were initially reported to have been banned for life by the federation for wearing green armbands in support of the [[Iranian Green Movement]].<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/2009/06/24/2009-06-24_iran_soccer_players_banned.html |title=Iran soccer players banned from national team after wearing green pro-opposition wristbands |first=Andy |last=Clayton |date=24 June 2009 |newspaper=NY Daily News |access-date=8 July 2010 |location=New York |archive-date=31 August 2009 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090831040659/http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/2009/06/24/2009-06-24_iran_soccer_players_banned.html |url-status=dead }}</ref>

[[Iran women's national football team]] was briefly suspended by FIFA from international competition in 2011 for being required by the federation to wear headscarves.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.cbsnews.com/news/iran-womens-soccer-team-thwarted-by-hijab-ban/ |title=Iran women's soccer team thwarted by hijab ban |work=CBS News |date=7 June 2011 |access-date=2012-09-19}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/irans-women-soccer-team-banned-from-olympics-because-of-headscarves/2011/06/06/AGqVuXKH_gallery.html |title=Iran's women soccer team banned from Olympics, because of headscarves |newspaper=The Washington Post |access-date=2012-09-19}}</ref>

In 2014, Iran joined the [[Central Asian Football Association]].{{fact|date=December 2023}}

In 2015, the federation banned players from the men's national team due to [[conscription]] problems.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.teammelli.com/2014/10/15/mehrdad-pooladi-saved-by-fifa/|title=Mehrdad Pooladi saved by FIFA !|work=TeamMelli|access-date=2015-09-04|archive-date=2015-11-21|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151121024931/http://www.teammelli.com/2014/10/15/mehrdad-pooladi-saved-by-fifa/|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.teammelli.com/2015/08/24/team-melli-unable-to-use-players-under-military-service/|title=Team Melli unable to use players under Military Service. – TeamMelli|website=www.teammelli.com|access-date=17 March 2018|archive-date=25 August 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150825104104/http://www.teammelli.com/2015/08/24/team-melli-unable-to-use-players-under-military-service/|url-status=dead}}</ref>

In August 2017, the federation banned [[Masoud Shojaei]] and [[Ehsan Hajsafi]] from the national team after they played against the Israeli club [[Maccabi Tel Aviv]] in the [[UEFA Europa League]].<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2017/08/10/world/middleeast/iran-soccer-masoud-shojaei-ehsan-haji-safi.html|title=Iran Bans Two Soccer Stars for Playing Against Israelis|first=Thomas|last=Erdbrink|newspaper=The New York Times |date=10 August 2017|access-date=17 March 2018}}</ref>
