TEHRAN (Iran News) – Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) has confirmed that Persepolis football team are the winners of Iran’s Super Cup.
The Iranian Football League Organization had already awarded the title to Persepolis after Esteghlal withdrew from the game but the Blues had protested the decision.
The match was originally scheduled for July 20 but Esteghlal requested Iran Football League Organization to postpone the match.
The organization refused to reschedule the match since two teams had to play in quarter-final of AFC Champions League and Iran Professional League (IPL).
Esteghlal filed an appeal to Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) against the decision and the sport’s supreme court announced that Persepolis are the winners. But the other team is protesting against the announcement. This year’s season was full of surprises.
The Iran’s Super Cup is a trophy awarded to the winners of a match between the Iran Professional League’s season champions and the winners of the Hazfi Cup.
This is how it works;
In the normal circumstances, following clubs participate:
- Defending Persian Gulf Pro League Champions
- Defending Hazfi Cup winners
If a team also be the Persian Gulf Pro League and Hazfi Cup champion, they will become the Super Cup champion.
