The Foolad Courier
Match1 Aug 2026
No mercy from Foolad
Esteghlal Ahvaz will want this one forgotten quickly: 14‑1, every duel lost, and a long ride home. Foolad were ruthless in the way good sides are ruthless.

A day Saeid Sadeghi will not forget
4 goals in one game. The first was taken well, the second was taken greedily, and by the third the crowd were simply waiting for him to get the ball.

Mohammad Reza Soleimani takes the match ball home
3 goals in one afternoon from one man. The other players were also present, a witness confirmed.
Squad3 Aug 2026
3 goals for Amir Masoud Sarabadani
The match ball belongs to Amir Masoud Sarabadani, whose 3 goals turned a difficult afternoon into a procession.
Player ratings3 Aug 2026
Both of them Vahid Amiri's — 8.39
2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.39, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.
Squad3 Aug 2026
12 seasons of Sina Moridi
152 appearances across 12 seasons in these colours. Careers like that are not built any more, and Foolad know what they have.
Match1 Aug 2026
Saeid Sadeghi among the goals in a wild afternoon
15 goals in one match, Saeid Sadeghi on the scoresheet, and a scoreline that will look like a misprint. Neutrals could not have asked more of Foolad and Esteghlal Ahvaz.

Yousef Mazrae attracts admirers
The name of Yousef Mazrae has come up in conversations Foolad were not part of. Nothing formal, nothing signed — but nothing about it accidental either.
Boardroom3 Aug 2026
Graduation day at Foolad
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.
In brief
- Market Foolad promote Vahid Noorafkan from within
- Market Foolad promote Karim Khodadad from within
- Market Foolad promote Hossein Ghoddos from within
