Iran’s Super Cup

PLDC – Following Esteghlal’s withdrawal from Iran’s Super Cup, Persepolis football team was awarded a 3-0 win.

On Monday, the Iran Football League Organization had decided to postpone the match but they changed their minds one day later.

The match was originally scheduled for July 20 in Tehran’s Azadi Stadium in Tehran but Esteghlal announced it would not participate in the match.

Esteghlal is currently holding a camp in Turkey ahead of new season of Iran Professional League. 

Persepolis has won Iran Professional League last season, while Esteghlal claimed Hazfi Cup.

The Iran Super Cup is regarded as the curtain raiser for a new league campaign since the competition's creation in 2005.
