Iran does not have had a successful run in the U-17 World Cups so far with a surge until the round of 16 stage in 2005 being their highest ever finish. But the Asian giants will be looking to change that in the upcoming event and the player who will be given the charge of unlocking defences and creating chances for his teammates is Iran's left winger - Mohammad Ghaderi.

The teenager winger is considered as a left foot maestro in his homeland with his dribbling qualities and his skills in one on one situations being highly appreciated. He was one of Iran's go to guy in their World Cup qualification where he was the country's joint top scorer with three goals. Ghaderi has a huge career ahead of him with this World Cup being the first hurdle in his hopefully long international career.
