صالح نيا در ادامه با مثال زدن ترکيه منظور خود را واضح تر بيان کرد و گفت: تيم ملوان در سال 1352 به عنوان نماينده ايران در جام عمران منطقه‌اي با حضور تيم ملي پاکستان و ترکيه حضور يافت و ما موفق به برد پاکستان شديم و تا دقيقه 86 هم با ترکيه مساوي کرده بوديم و اين همه فوتبال ترکيه آن روزها بود.
[Salehnia continued by giving the example of Turkey and explained his meaning more clearly and said: In 1973, the Malavan team participated as a representative of Iran in the regional Imran Cup with the participation of the national teams of Pakistan and Turkey, and we managed to win over Pakistan and had tied with Turkey by the 86th minute, and that was all the Turkish football of those days.] - ^ "بهمن صالح نیا و رکوردهای منحصر بفردش". آسمونی (in Persian).

در دی ماه 1352 ملوان به عنوان نماینده ایران در پنجمین دوره جام عمران منطقه ای شرکت کرد. رقابتهایی که تا قبل از آن همیشه تیم ملی در آن حاضر می شد ولی فدراسیون این بار صالح نیا و شاگردانش را به این تورنمنت فرستاد و ملوان هم نایب قهرمان رقابتها شد.
[In January 1973, Malavan participated as Iran's representative in the fifth edition of the Regional Civil Engineering Cup. Before that, the national team had always participated in the competition, but this time the federation sent Salehnia and his students to the tournament, and Malwan became the runner-up in the competition.] - ^ "مصاف ایران با یک تیم اروپایی پس از نیم قرن/ تکرار تاریخ پس از 68 سال!". شهر خبر. 2018-05-27.

ملوان جانشین تیم ملی شد|پس از مدتی توقف در برگزاری جام اکو این تورنمنت بار دیگر با حضور تیم های ترکیه و ایران برگزار شد. 20 ژانویه 1974 مصادف با 30 دی 1352 روزی بود که دو تیم در کراچی پاکستان به مصاف هم رفتند با این تفاوت که در آن سال تیم باشگاهی ملوان بندرانزلی به جای تیم ملی به این مسابقات اعزام شد. مسابقه ای که ترکیه با نتیجه یک بر صفر موفق به شکست نماینده کشورمان شد.
[Malavan replaced the national team | After a while of suspension in the ECO Cup, this tournament was held again with the participation of Turkish and Iranian teams. January 20, 1974, corresponding to 30 Diyan 1352, was the day when the two teams faced each other in Karachi, Pakistan, with the difference that that year, the Malavan Bandar Anzali club team was sent to this tournament instead of the national team. A match in which Turkey managed to defeat our country's representative with a score of 1-0.]
