🔶 Government Spokesperson: Ferdowsi-Pour is Supported by the Government

Fatemeh Mogharejani, the government spokesperson for Masoud Pezeshkian, said in response to the shutdown of the “Football 360” website, which belongs to Adel Ferdowsi-Pour. “Ferdowsi-Pour is certainly supported by all of us and by the government.”

Mogharejani said in this regard: “Regarding the incident that happened to Dr. Ferdowsi-Pour, I was on a trip to the south when it occurred and my phone signal was also gone. As soon as I returned from the trip, I called him and told him that I had heard the news and that I would follow it up.”

Football 360’s website was shut down a week ago on the last night of Ferdowsi-Pour’s special program for the World Cup. It was said that one of the reasons was Ferdowsi-Pour’s interview with Alireza Feyghani, a referee based in Australia. Feyghani is one of the most decorated referees in Asia and Australia and has officiated the finals of many very reputable tournaments.

Although Alireza Feyghani migrated to Australia by his own choice, according to some football experts, the lack of support and the cold treatment of the Football Federation officials after his achievements in the 2018 World Cup, as well as the involvement of security in personal matters, reduced his motivation to stay there.
