Can Jamshid Iskanderov move to Sepak takraw? The Persians are on the attack!

The experienced and skillful midfielder of the Uzbekistan national team and "Neftchi" club, Jamshid Iskanderov, may once again continue his career abroad. According to information released by Iranian media, the famous and reputable club from Isfahan — “Sepahan” — is showing serious interest in the 31-year-old Uzbek footballer.

As the runner-up of the last season of the Iranian Pro League, “Sepahan” is working on building a competitive squad for the upcoming season. One of the club’s main goals is to strengthen the team by attracting experienced and versatile players. From this perspective, the team’s scouts are considering Iskanderov as a candidate.

So far, no official negotiations have started between “Sepahan” and “Neftchi.” However, the management of the Iranian club evaluates Iskanderov as the most suitable player to fill the gap in the central midfield. This information has also been confirmed by insiders close to the club.

Jamshid Iskanderov’s current contract with “Neftchi” runs until December 31, 2026. This indicates that negotiations for his transfer may not be easy. However, “Sepahan,” which is financially strong, is reportedly ready to take the initiative in this matter.

In the current season, Iskanderov has played in 18 matches for his team, scoring 3 goals. He also contributed with 6 effective assists. According to the latest valuation by Transfermarkt, his market value is 900,000 euros.

It is well known that playing as a legionnaire is not new for Jamshid. He has previously played in the South Korean league and gained international experience through it. A potential transfer to the Iranian league could become the next serious step in his career.

This news has sparked great interest in football publications and on social media. Especially, Uzbek fans are eagerly waiting for Iskanderov to test himself abroad again and reach new heights.

Now, all football enthusiasts are awaiting the official confirmation of this potential transfer. If the deal goes through, Jamshid Iskanderov will become the next Uzbek footballer to play in the Iranian Pro League.
