The Tractor Tabriz football team is set to host Neftchi Uzbekistan in the fourth week of the Asian Elite League on Tuesday, November 2, in Oman. However, while it was expected that this team would travel to Oman with a direct flight, the lack of flight permission from Omani authorities has caused serious problems for the Tractor team.
Tractor's Troubled Travels
Previous experiences of Tractor in traveling to different countries show that they have always faced serious challenges. In their last trip to Iraq and Turkey for a match against Al-Shamal Qatar, after a long and problematic journey, they finally managed to reach Oman. Now, with the lack of flight permission to Oman, the challenges for this team have increased again.

In the third week of this competition, Tractor was a guest of Al Ain UAE and had managed to obtain direct flight permission to the UAE with significant efforts. However, as the time for the match against Neftchi Uzbekistan approaches, it seems there may not be enough time for negotiations and obtaining flight permission to Oman.
Coach's Threat
Javad Nekounam, the head coach of Tractor, is seriously concerned about his team's situation after the lack of flight permission. He has stated that if this trend continues and long travels persist, he may decide to participate with the youth team in the competitions. This issue has raised concerns among fans and club officials.
Nekounam, referring to the difficulties of travel and its impact on players' performance, has called for support and facilitation of travel conditions for his team. He believes that ignoring these issues could negatively affect the team's results in the competitions.
It seems that with the match date approaching, club officials need to take necessary actions to resolve this issue. Otherwise, the Tractor team may face even more serious challenges in the near future.
