Iran has been drawn in Group B of the 2018 World Cup along with Spain, Morocco and Portugal.
The Iran national football team (also known as Team Melli) will open the campaign with a match against Morocco at Saint Petersburg on June 15.
Team Melli, meanwhile, faces Spain in Kazan on June 20 before meeting Cristiano Ronaldo's Portugal in Saransk five days later.
With just one win in its past 12 World Cup matches, Iran is seeking a better showing this time around.
Carlos Queiroz is quite familiar with Spain and Portugal, having coached Real Madrid and the Portuguese national team, Miami Herald reported.
