Fathollahzadeh building new club

PLDC - The chairman of Esteghlal of Tehran club, Ali Fathollahzadeh, spoke in a press interview after the Al Faisali match and their return from Turkey. He is apparently upset that the Higher Youth Committee and the City 
Committee in Tehran do not provide the necessary assistance for football clubs with a large number of supporters (running into millions) such as Esteghlal. He also asked why the Committees they did not help the club (who were Iran’s representatives in the 14th Asian Games in Busan) in any way despite possessing a budget of 60 billion Tomans.

He went on to add, “Esteghlal is selling their present sports complex and head quarters to buy another place which is in keeping with the club class and prestige. We now own a lot of land near Eram Park (outside Tehran). We must begin our construction of the land this year. We are now hoping to reside and work within the new complex by the end of the new season break.”
