Title: Munir El Haddadi Chooses Iran as Home During Team Break
A Player’s Personal Choice
While his teammates on Esteghlal FC dispersed for a short holiday, one international player made a different decision. Munir El Haddadi, the former Barcelona footballer, opted not to leave Tehran, despite having the full permission and logistical support of the club’s management to travel abroad.
Family and Commitment Anchor Player
Contrary to the travel plans of other non-Iranian players, El Haddadi unpacked his bags. The key reason for his stay, as communicated to the club, is the presence of his wife and children in Iran. The player expressed his preference to remain in the country with his family during the brief break rather than embarking on an international trip. He is settled in Tehran for the time being, with the only potential change being a possible short visit to neighboring countries in the coming hours.
A Model of Professionalism
Club reports highlight Munir El Haddadi’s unwavering professional discipline. Even during the official time off, the player is known to maintain a strict and regular schedule of individual training, ensuring he remains in peak condition for the team’s upcoming commitments. His choice underscores a personal commitment to both his family life in Iran and his athletic career.
