Player ratings10 Aug 2026

Ahmad Hajsafi scores twice — 8.95

Two goals and a mark of 8.95 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Market10 Aug 2026

Sepahan come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Padideh did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Player ratings10 Aug 2026

Nobody could get near Reza Torabi

Successful dribbles: 26. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Ramin Karimi stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Ramin Karimi and Padideh agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Reza Torabi 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 Padideh this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Transfer targets10 Aug 2026

Padideh rebuffed over Mahan Sadeghi

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

Match8 Aug 2026

Padideh see off Esteghlal Khuzestan

Three points for Padideh, 2‑0 the final word against Esteghlal Khuzestan in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Market10 Aug 2026

Zob Ahan expected to open talks for Ali Karimi

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

Squad10 Aug 2026

Shahriar Nekounam 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.

Market3 Aug 2026

Naft Tehran come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Padideh did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Tempers go at Padideh

Reza Torabi 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.

Boardroom3 Aug 2026

2 academy players handed senior numbers at Padideh

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.

Market3 Aug 2026

Zob Ahan watching Ali Karimi

The interest is real enough to have reached print. Padideh have said nothing, which in a transfer window is its own kind of answer.

Transfer targets3 Aug 2026

Padideh rebuffed over Alisson

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

Match1 Aug 2026

Esteghlal take the points off Padideh

Beaten 1‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

The dugout3 Aug 2026

No hiding place for Sardar Khodadad

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

Market3 Aug 2026

Ali Rezaeian steps up from the Padideh academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Ali Rezaeian 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

Amir Mohammadi steps up from the Padideh academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Amir Mohammadi 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.
