Third Place Match [Jun 1] Iran did not play Ghana [Iran waited for 35 minutes on the pitch, while Ghana did not show up at all, apparently demanding prize money for the fourth-place finishers (uncommon in LG tournaments). Eventually Iran left, without obtaining any information from the Nigerian 'organisers'. One day later, the Nigerian FA awarded Ghana third place (and the relevant prize money) because Iran had left the pitch (sic!). Iran have protested.]
apparently only 2 matches were played ([Oct 4] Iraq 0–2 Iran and [Oct 6] Jordan 0–0 Iran), structure of tournament unclear.
