Financial Transparency and Economic Challenges
The CEO of Persepolis further emphasized the importance of financial transparency in the club's activities, stating: "We are a transparent club, and all documents are registered. I wish the entire football environment in the country was as transparent as Persepolis." These remarks align with the club's efforts to improve its financial and managerial situation and demonstrate Hadadi's serious commitment to creating positive changes in this area.
Hadadi also referred to the existing economic challenges in Iranian football, stating that the rising dollar rate and financial constraints have impacted the club's transfer policies. He emphasized that in the winter transfer window, Persepolis does not plan to acquire new foreign players and will focus more on attracting Iranian players and investing in the academy.
This new approach signifies a shift in transfer policies and attention to young Iranian talents, which could benefit the country's football and Persepolis in the long run. The club's CEO added that these changes will also influence economic decision-making and the selection of technical staff.
Given the current economic conditions and existing challenges, Persepolis is seeking to create a sustainable model for financial management and attracting domestic talents. This strategy could help the club perform more successfully in domestic and international competitions while also contributing to the improvement of Iranian football.
