🔻Khodadad Azizi, the manager of Tractor, in his first reaction to the ruling of the disciplinary committee of the Football Federation, mocked the verdict by posting a video, saying: “I was banned for four months, and now I’m going to Mashhad to check out a turf field. I wanted to let you know that tomorrow no one should record a voice clip of my footsteps on the field!”

🔹The disciplinary committee of the Football Federation sentenced Azizi to a four-month ban from attending stadiums and a 2 billion toman fine for misconduct, using obscene language, and considering his disciplinary record. In addition, Ehsan (Hope) Alishah, a player for Gol Gohar, was sentenced to four matches of suspension and a 500 million toman fine. The Tractor and Gol Gohar clubs were also fined.

🔹Meanwhile, Tractor Club, by issuing an official statement, called Azizi’s ruling disproportionate and, citing Alishah’s multiple violations and the failure to observe proportionality of punishment, announced that it would pursue the case at the appeals committee.
