How many Christian Iranians have we had in Team Melli?

[Rooyintan]

Were there any Zoroastrians in Team Melli?
Were there many from Islamic minorities like Sunni, Sufi, Ismaili and others?
I only know:
Capped players Sardar Azmoun, Vouria Ghafouri, Ezatollah Pourghaz, Kamel Anjini.
not-capped/Team Omid players Nouri Khodayari, Abdoljalil Golcheshmeh.
Any more?

Bakhtiar Rahmani I believe

Ah... Hadi Aghili is half cypriot? He's born in Iran though. I haven't seen any evidence of this anywhere but that's awesome. Are there any sources?

Hadi Aghili is not half Cypriot, some Taghi out there had started that rumor

So if we consider Sunni capped players for Team Melli will be these ones but very strange for me that numbers are lower than Christians, maybe there were many more footballers who were Sunni but did not like to make it known.

1. Bijan Zolfagharnasab [Iranian Kurd], DF 1973-1977 Caps and Goals: 13(0)
2. Kamil Anjini [Iraqi Kurd], ST 1982 Caps and Goals: 4(5)
3. Bakhtiar Rahmani [Iranian Kurd], MF 2013–2014 Caps and Goals: 4(0)

Sistani people are persians who are Shia, Iranian government combined sistan and balouchestan to one province to avoid that the Balouchi(sunni) to get to much power in the area.
(I learned about this in persian lessons when I went to School, we had a bahai teacher who were very intrested in Irans political history)

I know majority of Sistani people as well as Khorasan Razavi, Khorasan Jonoubi, Khorasan Shomali are Shia, however there are many Sunni in these regions along the border with Afghanistan and Turkmenistan.

Kaveh Rezaei is a Kurd from Kermanshah and based on that I assume he is a Shia but we never know as Kermanshah also have many Sunni, so do Shia-majority cities such as Tehran, Gorgan, Bushehr and Bandar Abbas.
