MNA - Sepahan Novin soccer
team’s patent was granted to Foulad of Khuzestan on Wednesday.
Foulad failed to qualify for Iran’s Professional League (IPL) after the team
was beaten by Payam of Khorasan in the play-off match. In another match,
Sepahan Novin defeated Steel Azin and advanced to IPL.
Iran’s Football Federation disallowed participation of two teams from one
club in the competitions, so Foulad of Khuzestan will take part in the IPL
current season instead of Sepahan Novin.
Powerhouse Sepahan of Isfahan is taking part in the IPL. One-time IPL
champion finished second last season behind Tehran-based Persepolis.
