Football clubs gearing up for Iran Premier League 2015-16
Iranian professional football clubs are less than a fortnight away from the beginning of the 15th season of the country’s Premier League, also known as the Persian Gulf Pro League.
The fixtures of the IPL 2015–16 matches were drawn during a ceremony held in the conference center of Tehran’s Milad tower on July 14, and the dates and kick-off times of the first five weeks were announced a few days later.
In the first day of the first week, slated for the end of July, defending champion Sepahan is to meet Estqlal Khuzestan, Saba Qom takes on Estqlal Ahvaz, Saipa plays Gostaresh, and Esteqlal will face Siah Jamegan. On the following day, Malavan will host Zobahan, Teraktorsazi will meet Nafat Tehran, Persepolis lines up against Padideh, and Foulad’s match will be held against either Rahahan or Paykan.
Tehran’s historical derbies are also scheduled to be held on October 30, 2015, and April 15, 2016.
In the previous edition of the tourney, Sepahan stood on top of the table to get its fifth league title, followed by Teraktorsazi and Naft Tehran.
