WP:GNG. A quick before shows the article is riddled with unreliable sources, and primary sources. The article literally has only five sources, the first one is dead (teammelli.com), the second one is a random totally unreliable website (taegukwarriors.com), the third source is a 2013 archive of FIFA itself, the fourth source (CNN) and fifth source (espn.in) doesn't talk about any rivalry between Iran and South Korea. Google results showed up routine coverage from a few sports sites. If anyone can uncover some significant, and or in-depth coverage to satisfy GNG, I would be happy to withdraw.

Delete - zero background information according to what, who and why is this match a rivalry, its a made-up "rivalry" just because they played a couple of important matches in the past; the article is also basically just a list of head-to-head matches and nothing else, thus failing both
WP:NSTATS and
WP:NRIVALRY. Its true that the FIFA source (#3 in the article) calls it "the two sides have developed one of Asia's greatest rivalries", but its based solely on many matches played.
