🔻 Payman Haddadi, CEO of Persepolis, speaking with reporters about the fate of the complaint against Esteghlal for using Yaser Asani in the Tehran derby, said: “I hope the Disciplinary Committee issues its ruling sooner so that if what we wanted does not happen, we take the case to CAS in order to reach a result before the end of the season.”

🔹 He also commented on Esteghlal and Tabriz Tractor’s refusal to release players invited to the U-23 national team, saying: “I ask the Disciplinary Committee what became of the letter from the Football Federation regarding how to deal with teams that have not released players to the U-23 national team. Will they carry out this punishment or not? If you have punished them, that means you’re behaving fairly.”
