IPNA- Nasser Hejazi, Head Coach of the Esteghlal Shahrdari Rasht, said to
the reporter of the Iran Pro League News Agency (IPNA): “Although we are
thinking our football becomes professional but we are still far away from
professional football. Our playing, facilities and playing grounds are not
changed from the past, and if we need 100% of the facilities to become
professional, providing 5% of them is necessary for the first of the way
that this not happened in Iran Football yet”. He added: “ Unfortunately
criterions of this league are not conformed with international standards,
because Federation following models of a country like Singapore that still
doesn’t have professional football itself. If a coach has enough time and
wide facilities maybe can make some changes in this way but if he hasn’t
these two factors together, couldn’t reach to his aims. I’m not against
professionalism and in my opinion a League can’t become professional in
all around the world without enough income. Our clubs income doesn’t cover
half of their costs and one of the reasons is that we still don’t have
private TV in Iran that it can pave the way for our advertising incomes".
