Iranian volleyball league 2017-2018

  • I would want to ask if it's possible rosters of iranian volleyball teams from last season to be posted. Thanks a lot !

    Is there any specific team you want to know its rosters ? I mean there are 12 teams with a lot of players, that will take time to write all of them


    not sure if it helps but here is the full list in Persian

  • I will appeciate if you are able to upload the first 8 rosters from the playoffs. Because it's very hard for me to translate them from persian and it's very difficult to find any information on english. Sarmayeh Bank, Gonbad, Varamin, Paykan, Saipa, Ardakan, Tabriz and Kalleh. I collect information about every season rosters but this year it's very difficult for me to find some.Very important for me are the positions of the players.When you have a time. Thank you so much !

  • the file doesn't include the positions. I know that for most of them but not all.

  • Thank you so much. Do you have information about Havosh Gonbad roster ?

    this one is a bit harder, cuz I know they had so many changes during the season, the roster I know and remember is different than what I have in that PDF file. at some point they started to play only with local Gonbad based players. (and actually they got better results after that) they fired some of their players and got some Gonbad-born players from lower division clubs.


    this is their roster based on what I remember and I might miss few players

    MB: Alireza Nadi, Sakhi Eidi, Matin Takavar, Armin Igderi, Farhad Yolmeh, Vali Nourmohammadi
    L: Golmohammad Sakhavi, Hamid Mohammadalgh , Behzad Fotouhifar


    * Heidarshahi, Sajjadi, Nadi and Ahmadi all got fired by the club before the half season. as far as I know they didn't play for any other club.



    -------------------------------------------------


    as for other clubs, I have the same problems for Urmia, Sari-21 and Raad Kashan. they had so many changes during the season. and Shams was actually Iran U19 team (not the 2017 world champion team. but the next U19 team) with the exception of 1-2 players the rest were 18 or younger. and they almost made it to the playoffs which was a big big surprise.

  • Liberman Agamez gave an interview in a Greek newspaper and he said that he wants to play again for Panthinaikos and that he had an agreement with PAOK last year but Ricci didnt wanted him in the team....
    Also he said some bad things for the iranian volleyball....


    Google translate


    "The two-month stay of Agamez in Iran (September and October 2017) was a nightmare experience. As soon as his Muslim teammates saw on his back the big tattoo with the Virgin Mary and the crosses in his hands marked him as undesirable. The protector of the protests against him was the star of the Iranian volleyball player and Pajkhan, Maruf. Agamez never talked about what he "incredibly" lived in Iran, and even now he said two words: "It was very difficult. I thought I was living a dream. I went to serve and even disapproved of my teammates ... ", says Agamez, unable to believe what has passed. For good luck, he and his family literally escaped from Tehran one day when there was a holiday due to a religious feast ..."

  • I find these kind of accusations hard to believe. I wasn’t there, I cannot know if this is true, but I never experienced such an approach from Iranian people. Yes, there are people who would act this way, not only in Iran but most of the people I met wasn’t like that. Maruf played in Russian league with lots of foreigners and I think he will play in Italy next season so I find it hard to believe.


    It is really easy to blame someone else when you regret your decision or when you are not happy in a country. It is not like he was the first foreigner who went to Iran.
