Tasnim – Zob Ahan football club has threatened to pull out of this season’s Iran Professional League in a dispute over refereeing’s mistakes.
In the IPL Matchweek 1, the referee’s decision went against Zob Ahan in the dying moments of the match after Foolad was awarded a penalty kick.
In the second match against Machine Sazi in Tabriz, Zob Ahan defender Vahid Mohammadzadeh was wrongly sent off in the first minute of the game.
The Isfahan-based football club said in a statement that it would withdraw from the league “scarred by dubious refereeing”.
