Match15 Mar 2027

Sepahan up to position 2

52 points on the board and a place in the leading group. Nobody at the ground is saying the word out loud yet.

Market15 Mar 2027

Mehdi Sorkhi is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Sepahan is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Kaveh Rezaei 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 Sepahan this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Turki Al-Ghamil keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Sepahan may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Boardroom8 Mar 2027

The Sepahan board want somebody sold

The instruction has come from upstairs rather than from the dugout, which is the version of this conversation no manager enjoys. Somebody in that squad is now available whether the man who picks the team thinks so or not.

Squad8 Mar 2027

Ricardo Alves signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Ricardo Alves commits to Sepahan for another 2 years.

Match15 Feb 2027

Sepahan refuse to drop out of the race

Position 2, 51 points, and the result everyone checks first is now theirs. The word is still not being said around the ground, which is how you know everyone is thinking it.

Nothing got past Mattheus Oliveira

28 defensive actions and a clean sheet at the end of them. A defender's afternoon can only be told by what did not happen, which is why nobody makes a highlights package out of one and every manager in the division would take it.

Mohammad Amin Hazbavi shuts the door

Defensive actions: 28, and a clean sheet at the end of it. A centre-half's best afternoons look like nothing happening, which is precisely the point.

Player ratings15 Feb 2027

Age has not caught Iván Sánchez yet — 7.87

At 34 he is supposed to be managing his minutes. Instead he was marked 7.87 and looked, for ninety minutes, exactly like the player everybody remembers.

Market15 Feb 2027

Only the photograph left for Mehdi Sorkhi

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Mehdi Sorkhi will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Sepahan the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Squad15 Feb 2027

Tempers go at Sepahan

Mohammad Reza Akhbari 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.

Match13 Feb 2027

Sepahan see off Naft Tehran

Three points for Sepahan, 2‑0 the final word against Naft Tehran in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Squad15 Feb 2027

Kaveh Rezaei 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.

Squad15 Feb 2027

No hiding place for Clint Irwin

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