The Rah Ahan Herald
Match22 Aug 2026
A 2-goal lead gone for Rah Ahan
It is a specific kind of quiet, a ground watching a winning position dissolve. Malavan kept coming because nothing stopped them, and Rah Ahan will be asked about the last half hour all week.

Both of them Vahid Vafaei's — 8.32
2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.32, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Reza Hajsafi keeps Rah Ahan 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.

Majid Mohammadi asks to leave Rah Ahan
“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Tempers go at Rah Ahan
Pejman Dejagah 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.

Esteghlal Ahvaz join the queue for Mohammad Moharrami
Add another name to the list: Esteghlal Ahvaz have asked the question everybody in the game has been asking about Mohammad Moharrami. The answer from Rah Ahan has not changed — yet.
Match22 Aug 2026
No clean sheets in sight for Rah Ahan
4 games now with at least two against. The back line has been rearranged, the goalkeeper has been backed publicly, and the goals keep going in anyway.

Mehdi Karimi 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.

Karim Ghoddos 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.
