FIFA punishes Iran’s Taremi, Persepolis club over contract row
Tehran, Sep 23 (IANS) Mehdi Taremi, the striker of Iran’s Persepolis club and Iran’s national football team, will stay out of action for four months after FIFA found him guilty of breaching his contract, local media reported on Saturday.
Taremi had been locked in a contract dispute with Turkish club Caykur Rizespor dating back to June 2016, when the player reached an agreement to join the club and later returned to Persepolis, Xinhua news agency quoted the Tehran Times as reporting.
Persepolis have also been banned from signing players for the next two transfer windows.
Moreover, Caykur Rizespor are seeking 789,500 euros (944,300 U.S. dollars) in compensation from Persepolis for breach of transfer rules.
It would be a massive blow for Persepolis ahead of the crucial match against Al Hilal of Saudi Arabia in the first leg of the AFC Champions League semi-finals.

The left-handed batsman from Haryana is garnering praise from all quarters for the way he’s finishing games regularly in the most exciting IPL season.
Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
