According to the CEO of Esteghlal Club, this club introduced Azadi Stadium as its home stadium to receive a professional license for the next season.
Due to the stricter rules of the Asian Football Confederation for granting professional licenses to clubs, Iranian teams have already started their efforts to obtain licenses.
In this regard, the most important issue is upgrading the level of the stadiums for the teams that want to participate in elite competitions and Asian champions. Because of this, Iranian clubs are struggling.
Mostafa Motdin, CEO of Esteghlal Club, said about Esteghlal’s plans to obtain a professional license: “We had foreseen this issue in our plans. In the first meeting of the working group, which was held in Esteghlal complex, we emphasized several issues, the most important of which was financial transparency. We try to make the clubs less dependent on the owner and find more independent financial conditions.
He continued: This club may be one or two years away from ideal conditions, but we will do our best to reach these standards.
In response to a question about the problem of Esteghlal and Persepolis stadiums to obtain a professional license and the plan of this club to build a dedicated stadium, Matedin said: Yes, the construction of the stadium is in our plan. Let the plans be fully developed so that I can talk about the details at the right time. Currently, we have introduced Azadi Stadium as our stadium.
