Kamal Jazini from fourth-placed Nirougah club, who were also given the fair play trophy, was the topscorer of the league with 19 goals.

Isfahan FA has decided to start the second season of the league from July 16 and also launch second division with the participation of 12 teams at a review meeting held with AFC Vision Asia recently.

An U-11 schools competition is also underway in Isfahan where 42 teams have been divided into seven zones of six teams each.

Meanwhile, Iran Football Association has selected Hamedan and Qazvin provinces for inclusion into Vision Iran project. A pre-assessment visit by AFC has already been completed in these provinces. Both provinces are eager to launch the Vision Iran projects and are keen to emulate the progress made by Isfahan and Fars FAs.

Core elements of focus in these provinces will be football administration and management, clubs and competitions, grassroots and youth, coaches and referees education.

The Vision Asia team will visit these provinces in mid-May for the Assessment Visit.
