🔻Alireza Beiranvand, the goalkeeper of the national team, in an interview with the Islamic Republic of Iran’s state broadcaster, regarding his request for exemption from military service on medical grounds, said: “They asked me if any part of my body hurts. I said that my shoulder hurts a bit. I have told this to IFAMARK as well. The meeting of my medical commission is on 14 Mehr.”

🔹The Tractor goalkeeper said: “The conscription system has sent a letter to the club and granted me permission to carry out sports activities until 20 Mehr. After the response from the medical commission, there is an opportunity to appeal. The medical commission will examine whether I have a problem with the tendon in my shoulder or not.”

🔹He also said, regarding his request for exemption due to nervous and psychological issues: “I have a tattoo on my right arm. I don’t have a nervous or psychological problem.”

🔹Beiranvand said: “If I know that when people see Beiranvand leaving, they’re so happy that they slaughter a sheep every week and eat it together with their families, then I will go to military service at the first opportunity. But my right as a citizen is to go to military service three or four months later, after the Nations Cup.”

🔹Beiranvand described delaying his military service as one of his legal rights and said: “It’s something that all people have used.”
