Title: Esteghlal FC Granted Eighth Foreign Player Slot Following League Review
In a significant administrative decision, the Iranian Football League Organization has officially reinstated Esteghlal Football Club’s license for an eighth foreign player. The ruling comes after club officials successfully presented their case regarding the status of former Bosnian player, Almedin Ziljkić.
League Organization Validates Club’s Argument
According to the report, league authorities confirmed that Ziljkić’s official registration with the Blues lasted only three weeks, a period during which the player was largely sidelined due to injury. Based on this evidence, the organization accepted Esteghlal’s reasoning and moved to restore the valuable squad registration spot.
Strategic Advantage for Upcoming Transfers
This reinstatement provides the Tehran-based club with enhanced flexibility and strategic depth for its squad-building efforts. The decision means that should a future transfer window open, Esteghlal’s management will be authorized to utilize this eighth foreign player quota for the remainder of the playing season.
