Squad29 May 2028

Tempers go at Gostaresh Foulad

Alireza Shojaei was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad29 May 2028

Gostaresh Foulad count the cost of losing Jairo

14 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.

Squad29 May 2028

Pouria Meshalgerdi gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Squad1 May 2028

Saeid Pouraliganji says Gostaresh Foulad went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Squad1 May 2028

Ali Ahmadi in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Gostaresh Foulad this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad1 May 2028

The manager makes an example of Jairo

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Squad24 Apr 2028

Jairo keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Gostaresh Foulad may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Market24 Apr 2028

Sardar Torabi is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Gostaresh Foulad is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Tempers go at Gostaresh Foulad

Ali Ahmadi was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad6 Mar 2028

Alireza Shojaei signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Alireza Shojaei and Gostaresh Foulad agree another 2 years.

Squad6 Mar 2028

Tempers go at Gostaresh Foulad

Tobías Schilman was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Boardroom7 Feb 2028

Pressure builds in the Gostaresh Foulad boardroom

The directors have stopped offering the manager public warmth. In football that is usually the stage before the short statement.

Squad7 Feb 2028

Ali Ahmadi in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Gostaresh Foulad this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad7 Feb 2028

Jairo stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Jairo and Gostaresh Foulad agree another 2 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Match5 Feb 2028

Ahmad Beiranvand sends Gostaresh Foulad past Naft Tehran

It finished 2‑1, and it was Ahmad Beiranvand’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Gostaresh Foulad.

Loan watch7 Feb 2028

Pejman Hajsafi counts the days

“I watch every Gostaresh Foulad game from here. That says everything about where my head is.” The loan at Zamalek runs its course, but his heart never made the trip.

Player ratings7 Feb 2028

Ahmad Beiranvand in the eights

A performance of 8.74 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Squad7 Feb 2028

Ali Ahmadi gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Market7 Feb 2028

Gostaresh Foulad sign Yahya Jabai, one for the future

Yahya Jabai is 18, and Gostaresh Foulad have signed him for the player he will be rather than the one he is. The first team can wait; the point of a deal like this is the years it buys.

Market7 Feb 2028

Gostaresh Foulad sign Nahuta Sadam, one for the future

Nahuta Sadam is 20, and Gostaresh Foulad have signed him for the player he will be rather than the one he is. The first team can wait; the point of a deal like this is the years it buys.

Market10 Jan 2028

Saman Beiranvand sold, and an era ends

$1.4M from Esteghlal for Saman Beiranvand. Money is money, but the dressing room has lost the man it looked to.

Squad10 Jan 2028

Vouria Azmoun keeps Gostaresh Foulad in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 7 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Squad10 Jan 2028

Gen Kato in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Gostaresh Foulad this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match8 Jan 2028

Gostaresh Foulad come up short against Saba

Saba left with the points after a 0‑1 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Market10 Jan 2028

Talks stall between Gostaresh Foulad and Gen Kato

“We are a long way apart, and pretending otherwise helps nobody.” Neither side is close, and the calendar is not on the club's side.

Player ratings10 Jan 2028

Vouria Yazdani runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 15. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Player ratings10 Jan 2028

Majid Pouraliganji keeps on missing

Shots: 9, not one of them in. A centre forward is paid for one thing, and on this evidence he has forgotten which thing it is.

Market10 Jan 2028

Siah Jamegan expected to open talks for Karim Dejagah

Both sides expect a conversation in the coming days. Gostaresh Foulad will name a price, and everything after that is arithmetic.

Player ratings10 Jan 2028

Ahmad Beiranvand leaves them behind him

Shots: 8. Goals: none. The chances were there and they were good ones, and they went into the stand, the goalkeeper's arms and the side netting in roughly that order.
