National Team Highlights
The Iran men’s national team, known as Team Melli, has been busy this season. After a solid qualifying run, the squad is eyeing a strong showing at the upcoming Asian Cup. Coach Carlos Queiroz has leaned on veteran striker Sardar Azmoun for goals, while the defense relies on experienced center‑backs like Majid Hosseini.
Recent friendlies showed a mixed bag – a clean sheet against Lebanon but a narrow loss to South Korea that highlighted some stubbornness in midfield. Fans are watching the midfield duo of Alireza Beiranvand’s brother‑in‑law, Ahmad, and the young playmaker Ramin Rezaeian for creativity.
When it comes to injuries, the team’s medical staff has been open about managing Hamidreza’s ankle problem. Expect him back for the next qualifier, which means a boost in attacking options.
Club & Player Spotlights
Domestically, Persepolis and Esteghlal continue the Tehran rivalry that still lights up stadiums every matchday. Persepolis recently clinched a 2‑1 win after a dramatic late goal from Ali Al‑Harandi, while Esteghlal’s keeper, Mohammad Reza, recorded his fifth clean sheet of the season.
Beyond Iran’s borders, a handful of players are carving out solid careers in Europe and the Middle East. Saman Ghoddos now stars for Brentford in the Premier League, providing pace on the wings and scoring occasional gems. Meanwhile, Sami Hajian’s trial in the Dutch Eredivisie sparked interest after he netted a hat‑trick in a reserve match.
Transfer rumors are always hot around the summer window. The most talked‑about deal is a potential move for Azmoun to a top Turkish club, which could mean a big payday and more exposure for the national side. On the other side, younger talents like Arash Najafi are attracting scouts from the Qatari league, offering a different route for career growth.
