Title: Persepolis FC Held to Second Successive Draw in Pre-Season Encounter
In a pre-season friendly match held today, Persepolis Football Club was held to a goalless draw by FC Naft o Gaz Urmia, a team competing in Iran’s Azadegan League (first division).
The match provided a valuable opportunity for the coaching staff, led by Mehdi Hashemian, to evaluate the depth of the squad. Persepolis fielded a side primarily composed of reserve players from their recent Persian Gulf Pro League match against Foolad FC, supplemented by a selection of talented youth players from the club’s academy system.
This outing follows the team’s opening league game of the season, which also ended in a draw. The result offers a platform for further tactical refinement and player assessment as the club continues its preparations for the challenges of the domestic campaign.
