Iranian Club Official Criticizes Opponents’ Stance on Contract Limits, Urges Fair Play in Asian Competitions

The manager of Iranian football club Sepahan, Ehsan Baidi, has expressed his disappointment over the delay in registering new players for his team. He attributes this delay to the reluctance of other clubs, particularly Persepolis, to increase the salary cap. Baidi emphasized the importance of all Iranian clubs being able to compete effectively in upcoming Asian competitions, arguing that a lack of fairness in contract regulations could harm the country’s representation on the international stage. He also raised concerns about the use of VAR technology, suggesting that its current implementation does not meet international standards, and urged for improvements in its application.
