Squad31 Aug 2026

Karim Karimi stands alone

6 saves, and a scoreline the ten men in front of him had no right to. Goalkeepers only get noticed on the bad days; this was one of the other ones.

Market31 Aug 2026

Shahriar Taremi asks to leave Siah Jamegan

“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.

Match29 Aug 2026

The wait goes on for Siah Jamegan

5 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

Transfer targets31 Aug 2026

Siah Jamegan make their move for Abolfazl Mohammadi

$700.0K on the table at Zob Ahan. The manager wanted him, the board agreed a number, and the only voices still to be heard are the ones at the other club.

Transfer targets31 Aug 2026

The paperwork begins on Majid Mohammadi

A medical, a signature, a shirt held up in front of a sponsor’s board. Siah Jamegan have done the hard part with Gostaresh Foulad, and the part that remains is the part supporters actually see.

Match29 Aug 2026

A bad afternoon for Siah Jamegan against Sepahan

1‑3 to Sepahan, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Transfer targets31 Aug 2026

Zob Ahan tell Siah Jamegan: Hadi Baghban is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

The dugout31 Aug 2026

Mehdi Gholizadeh 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.

Squad31 Aug 2026

Words exchanged at Siah Jamegan

Arash Akbarzadeh and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

In brief

Match22 Aug 2026

Nowhere to hide for Siah Jamegan

0‑3 against Foolad, and no complaints that would survive the replay. The manager spoke about character afterwards; the terraces used shorter words.

Market24 Aug 2026

Ali Karimi asks to leave Siah Jamegan

“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.

Market24 Aug 2026

Siah Jamegan say no — this time

The offer from Rah Ahan for Vahid Azmoun was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Match22 Aug 2026

No end in sight to Siah Jamegan's wait for a win

4 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Siah Jamegan has to find a result from somewhere.

Market24 Aug 2026

Soheil Sarkari is a Siah Jamegan player

The fee is $180.0K, the contract is signed, and the argument about whether he is worth it can begin. Foolad drove a hard bargain; time will say who won it.

Match22 Aug 2026

Siah Jamegan cannot find the net

4 games without scoring. Strikers stop looking up, midfielders take the extra touch, and every shot that clears the bar is followed by a groan that has been building since the last goal.

Market24 Aug 2026

Tractor join the queue for Masoud Beiranvand

Add another name to the list: Tractor have asked the question everybody in the game has been asking about Masoud Beiranvand. The answer from Siah Jamegan has not changed — yet.

The terraces24 Aug 2026

Siah Jamegan spend $180.0K on the signing the town wanted

It is the rarest sequence in football: supporters ask for something, and the club goes and does it. $180.0K for Soheil Sarkari, and for one week nobody is complaining about anything.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Words at Siah Jamegan training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Morteza Taremi is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Siah Jamegan baulk at the price for Luis Iberico

Sporting Cristal wanted more than $560.0K and the board would not go there. Walked away, for now, which in a transfer window means until somebody blinks.

Boardroom3 Aug 2026

1 academy players handed senior numbers at Siah Jamegan

The morning the pathway stops being a brochure and becomes a team sheet. Most of them will not be here in three years; all of them have already done the hard part, which was getting to today.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Morteza Taremi 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.

Transfer targets3 Aug 2026

Siah Jamegan rebuffed over Denys Tvardovskyi

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Shakhtar have kept their man, and Siah Jamegan go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Match1 Aug 2026

Persepolis take the points off Siah Jamegan

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

Market3 Aug 2026

Ali Ebrahimi steps up from the Siah Jamegan academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Ali Ebrahimi has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Masoud Beiranvand 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 Siah Jamegan this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

The dugout3 Aug 2026

Mehdi Gholizadeh 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.
