Zob Ahan make their move for Adrián Bernabé

$27.4M on the table at Parma. The manager wanted him, the board agreed a number, and the only voices still to be heard are the ones at the other club.

Kouamé Autonne due for a Zob Ahan medical

Everything agreed with Al Ain, everything agreed with the player; a doctor is the only person left to persuade. The photograph is a day or two away.

Nobody could get near Ehsan Pahlevan

Successful dribbles: 23. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Mohammad Javad Mohammadi signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Mohammad Javad Mohammadi and Zob Ahan agree another 3 years.

Zob Ahan make their move for Mohammad Hossein Sadeghi

$160.0K on the table at Persepolis. The manager wanted him, the board agreed a number, and the only voices still to be heard are the ones at the other club.

A falling-out at Zob Ahan

Ehsan Pahlevan and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Transfer targets10 Aug 2026

Zob Ahan rebuffed over Marcel Ratnik

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

Hossein Beiranvand steps up from the Zob Ahan academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Hossein Beiranvand 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.

One of our own: Mohammad Vafaei joins the Zob Ahan first team

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

From our football correspondent Triumph

Match1 Aug 2026

No mercy from Zob Ahan

Esteghlal Khuzestan will want this one forgotten quickly: 3‑0, every duel lost, and a long ride home. Zob Ahan were ruthless in the way good sides are ruthless.

Player ratings3 Aug 2026

Omid Latifi scores twice — 8.36

Two goals and a mark of 8.36 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Player ratings3 Aug 2026

Houman Elyasi, 20, plays like he has been here for years — 7.85

A mark of 7.85 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 20-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

Transfer targets3 Aug 2026

Door shut on Mohammad Ghorbani

Zob Ahan asked and Al Wahda said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Rahman Jafari signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Rahman Jafari and Zob Ahan agree another 4 years.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Words exchanged at Zob Ahan

Ehsan Pahlevan 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.

Boardroom3 Aug 2026

2 academy players handed senior numbers at Zob Ahan

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.

The terraces3 Aug 2026

One of their own: Houman Elyasi

He is 20 and the ground already sings his name, which is a thing that happens to local boys and almost never to signings. Everything from here is measured against an affection he did nothing to earn except be from here.

Market3 Aug 2026

Eyes on Sobhan Khaghani again

The phone has started ringing about Sobhan Khaghani again, and this time the name on the line is Saipa. Zob Ahan are listening politely and promising nothing.
