Match1 Aug 2026
Padideh taken apart
0‑3 to Esteghlal, and it was every bit as bad as the number suggests. There are defeats you argue about and defeats you apologise for; this was the second kind.

Kaveh Mohammadi raises the bar for Padideh
“I want to be playing for trophies while my legs still let me.” Nothing in that sentence is a transfer request, and nobody at Padideh heard it as anything else.

Words exchanged at Padideh
Domenico Tedesco 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.

Eyes on Reza Noorafkan again
The phone has started ringing about Reza Noorafkan again, and this time the name on the line is Saipa. Padideh are listening politely and promising nothing.

Graduation day at Padideh
4 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.

Saeid Shojaei steps up from the Padideh academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Saeid Shojaei 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.

A row about effort at Padideh
Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Alireza Ghoddos was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Nobody left the Padideh dressing room in a hurry
The door stayed shut a long time after the final whistle. What was said in there is between them; whether it worked is between them and Saturday.
In brief
