Market13 Dec 2027

Only the photograph left for Reza Torabi

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Reza Torabi will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Gostaresh Foulad the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Squad13 Dec 2027

Tempers go at Gostaresh Foulad

Karim Ghoddos 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.

Match11 Dec 2027

Gostaresh Foulad come up short against Esteghlal

Esteghlal left with the points after a 1‑2 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Squad13 Dec 2027

Karim Rezaeian 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.

Match11 Dec 2027

Karim Ghoddos answers Esteghlal immediately

Conceding is one thing; the response is what tells you about a dressing room. Karim Ghoddos had Gostaresh Foulad level again within 3 minutes, and Esteghlal never got to play with a lead at all.

Squad13 Dec 2027

The manager makes an example of Mohammad Hosseini

“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.

Player ratings15 Nov 2027

Both of them Omid Azmoun's — 8.26

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.26, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Match13 Nov 2027

Nobody wants to play Gostaresh Foulad right now

4 wins in a row changes how opponents warm up: quieter, more glances across. Runs end, everybody knows that — but nobody in this dressing room is planning for it.

Market15 Nov 2027

Reza Torabi has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Gostaresh Foulad they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Player ratings15 Nov 2027

Ashkan Khodadad runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 23. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Match13 Nov 2027

Omid Azmoun sends Gostaresh Foulad past Esteghlal Ahvaz

It finished 3‑1, and it was Omid Azmoun’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Gostaresh Foulad.

Squad15 Nov 2027

Karim Rezaeian 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.

Player ratings15 Nov 2027

Karim Ghoddos in the eights

A performance of 8.20 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Squad15 Nov 2027

Vahid Karimi signs on for more

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

Squad15 Nov 2027

Lancine Bamba 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.

Karim Rezaeian runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 43. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Match9 Oct 2027

11 matches without a win for Gostaresh Foulad

The run now stands at 11, and the questions being asked around Gostaresh Foulad are no longer polite ones.

Squad11 Oct 2027

A one-man rearguard from Ali Moharrami

There were 7 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Market11 Oct 2027

Only the photograph left for Reza Torabi

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Reza Torabi will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Gostaresh Foulad the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Boardroom11 Oct 2027

Reza Torabi signs for Saba while still at Gostaresh Foulad

The rules permit it and it stings anyway. Reza Torabi has agreed terms with Saba for the summer, and until then he pulls on this shirt as a player who has already chosen his next one.

Squad11 Oct 2027

Karim Ghoddos 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.

Player ratings11 Oct 2027

One of those days for Karim Ghoddos

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.13, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Match9 Oct 2027

No time for Padideh to settle

The goal that put Padideh ahead was still being replayed on the concourse when Gostaresh Foulad equalised, 2 minutes later. Leads are only worth what you do with them.

Squad11 Oct 2027

Saman Pouraliganji signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Saman Pouraliganji commits to Gostaresh Foulad for another 3 years.

Boardroom3 Aug 2026

2 academy players handed senior numbers at Gostaresh Foulad

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.

Match1 Aug 2026

Rah Ahan take the points off Gostaresh Foulad

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

Market3 Aug 2026

Saeid Torabi steps up from the Gostaresh Foulad academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Saeid Torabi 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.

Market3 Aug 2026

One of our own: Ali Taremi joins the Gostaresh Foulad first team

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

Squad3 Aug 2026

No hiding place for Ali Moharrami

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Ali Moharrami, and the manager let it.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Words at Gostaresh Foulad training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Karim Rezaeian 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.

Market3 Aug 2026

Ali Vafaei told to find a new club

“They were honest with me, and I would rather know.” Ali Vafaei has been informed he is not in the manager's thinking at Gostaresh Foulad.
