We are saddened to learn of the passing of former #TeamMelli captain and 1968 AFC Asian Cup champion Hassan Habibi at the age of 86.
We interviewed him about his storied life and career at his Tehran residence in 2024:

Former Israeli military intelligence officer:
“[Iran] is artificial state and what will happen with Iran is exactly what happened with the Soviet Union… its fate is to be dismantled, is to be shattered to pieces, as it should have been from the beginning.”
Their goal is to destroy Iran as a nation, they don’t hide it.
@SwipaCam Jaylen Pickett was perfectly serviceable they gave up on that dude in the middle of last season for no reason and I bet you politics got involved.
🎥 Allahyar Sayyadmanesh responds to Amir Ghaleneoi’s staff:
“The one thing nobody can criticize me for is my conduct. I have never had a single disciplinary issue.
Over the past four years under this coaching staff, I have barely played for the national team. Last season, I was given just over 20 minutes of playing time in total.
I respect every coach’s decisions and preferences, but I hope they are honest about them. I already knew that Mr. Ghalenoei did not really believe in me. He does not closely follow the matches of Iranian players based abroad. (😳)
Last season, I was called up as a right winger, yet Ghalenoei asked me whether I could also play on the right wing. That showed me he had not really been watching my matches.
As long as this coaching staff remains in charge, I don’t see myself playing for the national team. They are not interested in me, and to be honest, the feeling is mutual.
Even during the camps I was invited to, I did not feel that anything was added to my game or that I benefited from being there.”
