Big blue-red derby slated for June 8

IRNA - Esteqlal and Persepolis will take over 100,000 die-hard fans out of their homes on Sunday, June 8. 
Known as blue and red, the two popular sides are to pit their players in the 24th week of Iran Pro League (IPL) in the newly-repaired Azadi Stadium, 10 km west of Tehran, announced the public relations manager of IPL Organization on Sunday.
