Rewritten Title: Key Persian Gulf Pro League Match to Proceed in Empty Stadium
In a significant development for the Persian Gulf Pro League, one of the most anticipated fixtures of the ninth week will see Tractor Tabriz face off against Persepolis Tehran. The match, scheduled for October 30th, will be held behind closed doors at the Yadegar-e-Emam Stadium in Tabriz.
A Venue Decision Finalized
The location of this high-stakes match had been a subject of recent speculation. Initial reports had suggested that Tractor, under coach Dragan Skočić, might host the capital’s red-clad team at the Bonyan Diesel Stadium. However, official announcements have now confirmed a different plan.
Official Confirmation of Closed-Doors Match
Mr. Masoudi, the General Director of Sports and Youth of East Azerbaijan Province, provided the final confirmation. He stated that, following a formal request from the Tractor club, the match against Persepolis will be held at the Yadegar-e-Emam Stadium without the presence of spectators. This decision underscores the clubs’ and officials’ commitment to adhering to structured protocols for major sporting events.
The Road to the Clash
Leading up to this pivotal encounter, both teams have other league commitments. Tractor is set to play matches against Malavan and Gol Gohar Sirjan, while Persepolis will line up against Kheybar Khorramabad and Zob Ahan Isfahan. These results will set the stage for what promises to be a tactically compelling and closely watched contest in Tabriz, even in the absence of a live audience.
