Following its triumph in the 1990 Asian Games, very little change was made as far as Iran’s lineup. A few youngsters had broken into the roster although they were mostly there to make up the numbers. Placed in an extremely easy group with India and Pakistan, Iran played its qualifying games for the 1992 Asian Championship in Kolkata, India. In the first game Iran demolished Pakistan 7-0 with Pious opening the scoring in the 2nd minute and further goals coming from Marfavi (2), Moharrami, Ghayeghran, Hasanzadeh and Abtahi.
Iran followed this win up with a 3-0 defeat of their hosts with goals by Moharrami and Pious (2) to qualify for the 1992 Asian Championship.
