Pejman Ebrahimi runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 30. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Walter Montoya, 33, rolls back the years — 7.86

There is an age at which every good afternoon gets described as a throwback, which is unfair and also accurate. 7.86 at 33, and nobody on the pitch was better.

Squad21 Sep 2026

Kaveh Vafaei 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 Rah Ahan this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad21 Sep 2026

Walter Montoya falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Squad21 Sep 2026

Kaveh Vafaei 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.

Match19 Sep 2026

Rah Ahan hit back inside 3 minutes

Esteghlal Khuzestan held the lead for 3 minutes, which is not long enough to enjoy it. Rah Ahan answered before the celebration had properly finished, and the shape of the afternoon changed with it.

Match19 Sep 2026

Honours even between Rah Ahan and Esteghlal Khuzestan

1‑1, and both dressing rooms will call it two points lost. A draw that asked plenty of questions and answered none of them.

Squad21 Sep 2026

Pejman Noorafkan knocks on the manager’s door

“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Pejman Noorafkan trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

Market21 Sep 2026

Reza Yazdani leaves for nothing

Contract settled, hands shaken, no fee changing hands. Reza Yazdani leaves Rah Ahan the quiet way, and the wage bill breathes a little easier.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Tempers go at Rah Ahan

Walter Montoya 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.

Squad17 Aug 2026

The manager makes an example of Sardar Shojaei

“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.

Match15 Aug 2026

Sepahan take the points off Rah Ahan

Beaten 0‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Rah Ahan pick somebody else ahead of Reza Yazdani

There is no complaint available here and everybody involved knows it, which does not make the walk to the bench any shorter. Form is the only currency in football that cannot be borrowed against.

Market17 Aug 2026

No place for Alireza Ebrahimi in the plan

“The manager did not use many words, and he did not need to.” Alireza Ebrahimi has his answer from Rah Ahan; what he does with it is the next window’s story.

Player ratings17 Aug 2026

Reza Hajsafi runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 12. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Sardar Shojaei takes the match ball home

3 goals in one afternoon from one man. The other players were also present, a witness confirmed.

Boardroom3 Aug 2026

Graduation day at Rah Ahan

5 boys move up, and somewhere in the building the people who coached them at twelve are quietly having the best morning of their working year. Nothing about this shows up in a result and it is why the academy exists.

Match1 Aug 2026

Rah Ahan see off Gostaresh Foulad

Three points for Rah Ahan, 3‑1 the final word against Gostaresh Foulad in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Reza Yazdani signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Reza Yazdani and Rah Ahan agree another 2 years.

One of our own: Masoud Nekounam joins the Rah Ahan first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Masoud Nekounam is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Karim Jahanbakhsh is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Rah Ahan promote Mehdi Hosseini from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Mehdi Hosseini has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.
