Persian Gulf Pro League 2021-22

[mahestan]

After the continuation of stone throwing during corner kicks a second interruption of the match between Perspolis and Tractor at Yadegar resulted in the refs and both teams leaving the pitch for the lockers. This is shameful. Our people need to grow up.

I am sorry to say that it is no accident that we have the government that we have. They say every nation has the government it deserves. We have a long way to go to deserve better.

Go Perspolis!

Look up the phrase "brain drain". I believe back in the mid 2000s Iran was on top of the list.

Not trying to change the discussion, but when the country is hit with such massive number of "human flight and brain drain", sadly things end up getting worse and worse.

Regarding Persepolis v Tractor

Game was stopped for safety of players by referee.
I think Tractor fans and club should be held responsible for violent conducts of their fans.

[The]

Unacceptable.
Not safe to play there
No fan should be allowed for future game there.

And to think people want TM Melli matches to take place there

Gentlemen
Although football has been played for a long time in Iran, and local league football has been played at least since 1920,[1] national championships have only been played sporadically before 1970.

Champions Cup
In the period 1957–1968, there was sporadically played a champions' cup (Persian: جام قهرمانی فوتبال ایران), probably mainly in knockout format. [2]

1957 – Taj[a], Tehran
- 1959 – Tabriz (district/city team)[2]
1960 – Clock, Abadan[2]
1961 – Aria Mashhad,[b] Mashhad[2]
1962 – Daraei, Teheran[2]
1964 – Teheran (distriktslag)[2]
1965 – Pas, Teheran[2]
1966 – Pas, Teheran[2]
1967 – Pas, Teheran[2]
1968 – Paykan, Teheran[2]
Regional Cup
1970/71 – Taj,[a] Tehran[3]
1971/72 – Persepolis, Tehran[3]
in 1972/73 no championship was played. [3]

Takhte Jamshid League

1974/75 - Taj[a], Tehran[3]
1975/76 – Persepolis, Tehran[3]
1976/77 – Not, Teheran[3]
1977/78 – Not, Teheran[3]
- 1978/79 – Not completed due to the Islamic Revolution. [3]
Qods League
From 1979 to 1989, no national championships were played for club teams. Club teams could only participate in regional or provincial leagues. [3] However, in 1985, the Qods League was formed, which was a league for provincial or district teams. Originally, 9 provinces/districts participated: Tehran A, Tehran B, Esfahan, Gilan (province), Mazandaran, Khorasan, Fars (province), East Azarbaijan and Khuzestan. In this format, the league was decided over four seasons. However, in its fifth season, the league became a championship for club teams, thus preceding the Azadegan League. [3] In 1989, Esteghlal became the first club team to become national champions since 1978. After that, the league was suspended.

By provincial law:[3]

1985/86 – Teheran A
1986/87 – Esfahan
1987/88 – Esfahan
1988/89 – Teheran A
With club teams:

1989/90 Esteghlal, Teheran[3]
in 1991, no champion was appointed.

Azadegan League
In 1991, a national league for club teams, azadegan League (Persian: ليگ آزادگان, roughly the Freedom League) was once again formed. In the first year, the league was played as a joint series of 12 teams, then for a few years the league alternated between one and two series with a total of 14–24 teams. From the 1995–96 season to the 2000–01 season, the league was played as a joint league of 12–16 teams. [4] When the Iranian professional league started in 2001, the series became the second level of the league system, with promotion and relegation to the IPL.

Champions by victory in the Azadegan League:[3]

1991/92 – Pas, Teheran
1992/93 – Not, Teheran
1993 – Saipa, Tehran
1994/95 – Saipa, Tehran
1995/96 – Persepolis, Tehran
1996/97 – Persepolis, Tehran
1997/98 – Esteghlal, Teheran
1998/99 – Persepolis, Tehran
1999/00 – Persepolis, Tehran
2000/01 – Esteghlal, Teheran
Iranian Premier League / Persian Gulf Pro League
On November 2, 2001, the Iranian Professional League, IPL, was formed. The idea was that a professional league would be favorable for the development of football in the country. [5] The name has been changed by the Iranian Football Federation to be officially called the Persian Gulf Pro League, which in English has been written into its logo, but the name is perceived as controversial by some Arab countries, and among other things, the AFC always indicates the league name as Iran Pro League. [6]

Champions since 2001/02:

2001/02 – Persepolis, Tehran[3]
2002/03 – Sepahan, Isfahan[3]
2003/04 – Pas, Teheran[3]
2004/05 – Foolad, Ahvaz[3]
2005/06 – Esteghlal, Teheran[3]
2006/07 – Saipa, Tehran[3]
2007/08 – Persepolis, Tehran[3]
2008/09 – Esteghlal, Teheran[3]
2009/10 – Sepahan, Isfahan[3]
2010/11 – Sepahan, Isfahan[3]

Records broken by Esteghlal in Iran football
Sports
May 25, 2022 - 17:26

TEHRAN - Esteghlal football team clinched their first Iranian Professional League (IPL) title in 10 years after earning a 2-1 win against Foolad in Ahvaz with three games to spare. However, Farhad Majidi's side are trying to end the domestic campaign on a winning note and without a single defeat as they beat their host Mes Rafsanjan 2-0 on the penultimate day of the league Tuesday night.

They say that you learn more from a defeat than a victory and Majidi would certainly not subscribe to that theory.

The Blues will go into the final round of fixtures knowing a point would be enough for them to finish the IPL as the first "Invincible" side in the Iranian football league history.

Farhad Majidi's men had a stunning performance this season and are now on the verge of setting THREE new records in Iranian football. They can become the first undefeated team, the first team to earn more than 67 points, and the first team to concede the fewest goals.

Esteghlal will take on Naft Masjed Soleyman on the last day of the league at Azadi Stadium, a team that try to boost their survival hopes against the champions. But what is needed for the Blues to register the three records, as mentioned earlier?

Esteghlal, with a draw, can set a record for most points in one IPL season with 68 points. They have already equaled Persepolis, but just one more point is needed to become the best ever.

The Thran giants simply should not lose against Mohammadreza Mohajeri's Naft to end the season undefeated. This has never happened before for any team in the history of the Iranian Pro League.

Former Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson once said: "Attack wins you matches, defense wins you the titles," and his managerial career with Manchester United proves the fact.

Esteghlal followed the Fergusen's rule as they have conceded only 10 goals so far. The fewest goals conceded in a single season of the IPL was 13, and now Esteghlal goalkeeper Hossein Hosseini only needs to concede less than three goals in his team's final game to make the Blues leading the list with the fewest goals conceded.

The rock-solid Esteghlal's 2021/22 season are considered one of the best defensive performances in history.

Sunrise and sunset
Fajr relegated after only one season.

Their Star Zehdehruh is a quality player but he is still Sarbaz.

[St_Mark]

Mes & Malavan advanced to the PGL.
Fajr & Shahrekhodro relegated.

Now Both Kerman & Khuzestan have 3 teams in the next league.

Azadi Stadium is the fullest it's been in years.

Minute of silence for the victims of the Metropol building collapse in Abadan.
