World Cup fever is set to officially take hold when the tournament kicks off next week - and those uninterested in the action on the pitch are taking comfort in the eye candy.

A photo of Iran's national squad looking suave in matching suits sent Twitter into meltdown when it was shared online.   

The snap of the tall dark and handsome line-up was shared by Twitter user Aminatou Sow, who posted: 'All of a sudden very invested in the Iranian world cup squad'.

And it seems she's not the only person whose support Iran can now count on - as it's been liked and shared thousands of times by new fans who said the squad left them 'breathless'.
