Kia FC based on Hoffenheim model

Sorry if this has been posted somewhere else but I just read on GolBezan that recently Ghasem Mahdavikia, brother of Mehdi and a coach at the Academy died. May he rest in peace and my condolences to his family.

Rest in Peace.

These brothers have provided so much to Iranian football and have paved the way for the future of it as well.

Yea, what's the deal with a number of young Iranian public figures passing away at such young age.

Roohesh shad.

From the Kia Wikipedia page it says that he was the coach of the U14 team. Also from the twitter accounts I saw this on it said he died from Covid (although I can’t clarify this).

Edited: Never mind.

Kia FC will be buying the rights of a division 3 team (I think they mean the league below the Azadegan League). They will fill the team with their academy players.
Really interesting step in the next phase of his academy.
Great work by Kia to continue to help Iranian football like this.

With their resources, they should be able to get a promotion into Azadegan fairly easily. Could become a great pipeline for youth playtime and then cheap sales to Europe with a sell on for future profit.

What's the makeup of the Men's team? Presumably it's not like the rest of the domestic scene where the average age in the squads is 46.
