According to the sports reporter of Tasnim news agency, Mohammad Poladgar said on the sidelines of the presentation ceremony of the country’s best sports in 1401: We remember that this program was not held in the past few years and I thank the founders of this year’s program for performing it again. The fact that there is people’s participation is a strong point. The best hero is the one who is in the hearts of the people and is the hero that the people choose. Their role in social arenas and their popularity among the people is of special importance that was depicted.
Regarding today’s statement of the Ministry of Sports and the entry of the inspection organization into the issue of Persepolis and Esteghlal clubs, as well as the intrusive visit of the head of the privatization organization to both clubs, he said: The report of the inspection organization was received confidentially at the secretariat on April 6 and was recorded, and by order of the minister, several Some of the deputies and the general inspection department of the Ministry of Sports entered into this matter. In fact, an inspection team was formed and a 50-page report has been prepared in the last two or three days, which will be published next week.
The Deputy Minister of Sports mentioned about the slow process of repairs in Azadi Stadium: partial repairs have been done before and have been done in these years. In fact, they have tried to keep this stadium afloat and it is acceptable, because FIFA approves it and all official events are held there. Now the will is to be able to have an acceptable stadium and in the dignity of the country’s sports. It comes at a cost that is too high and let the experts say so. This stadium is a national capital and we all try to host various events in it in good condition. The most important thing is to respect the audience and what is considered is to provide good conditions for the audience.
Regarding the ownership of the Esteghlal and Persepolis clubs, Poladeger pointed out that measures were taken in this regard, and the ownership of the two clubs, which were announced by one ministry, was decided to be announced in two ministries. Of course, they have not told me the names of these two ministries yet. The Asian Football Confederation also accepts this. The preliminary committee will proceed with all the requirements of the AFC to ensure that all the principles of professionalism are observed in these two clubs. Ownership and shares are two different issues. What the AFC will admit, you are stricter than you seem. The Asian Confederation accepts. The program announced for these two clubs will be transferred to AFC and they must have accepted it. When they announce that there is also the transfer of shares in the program, but no one came and bought these shares, it is no longer the club’s fault.
Regarding the fact that Persepolis was also eliminated from the Asian Champions League, he said: I have not heard any news indicating that Persepolis has been eliminated.
Poladeger stated about the appointment of the board members of two clubs: they are supposed to select and introduce these board members in a supervisory board that includes individuals and experts from both sides, i.e., the privatization organization and the Ministry of Sports.
Regarding the contradictions regarding the removal or not of independence from the officials, he said: The same as what the minister said.
Poladager said about the resignation of Hamid Sajjadi, Minister of Sports and Youth: I have not heard. This is the news that you make and deal with. There is no such thing.
