No end in sight to Padideh's wait for a win
5 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Padideh has to find a result from somewhere.

Karim Pouraliganji hands in a written request
“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Padideh can pretend not to have heard.

8 unbeaten for Padideh
Hard to beat is not the same as winning, but 8 matches without defeat is a foundation Padideh did not have in the autumn.

Saeid Shojaei wants more than Padideh are offering
“I have ambitions, and I would like the club to share them.” Nobody has asked to leave and nobody has been shown the door — but a player chooses that sentence carefully, and a boardroom hears it exactly as it was meant.

Tempers go at Padideh
Saeid Shojaei 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.

The manager makes an example of Ashkan Mohammadi
“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Talks stall between Padideh and Mohammad Karimi
“We are a long way apart, and pretending otherwise helps nobody.” Neither side is close, and the calendar is not on the club's side.
Loan watch14 Sep 2026
Vahid Pouraliganji wants to come home
“I did not go to Al-Hilal to sit and watch. I want to come back to Padideh and fight for my place.” 1 appearances in 5 matches say the rest.

The afternoon belonged to Kaveh Cheshmi
7.69, and no serious argument from anybody who was there. Padideh had eleven men on the pitch and one of them decided how it went.
