Iran : LOL, Ali Khamenei Never Told us That Iran Have Had Its Own "Pele" (Article)

LOL, I'm so proud of the Pygmies, they are doing an excellent job. Props to them!! I've always thought Iran is like the Argentina of Western Asia, I swear. Unlike Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait and other Gulf countries, you will never see a Black player among the Iranian national soccer team today!!

However Mehrab Shahrokhi (1944–1993) (photo below, also posing with Pele on the black and white image) is a recognized Afro-Iranian footballer from and born in Khuzestan province in Iran, often highlighted for his pioneering role in Iranian football. He was a notable defender who played in the 1960s and 1970s. Other prominent figures often associated with this history include "The Black Pearl of Iran," Abdolreza Barzegari, who is also Afro-Iranian born in 1958 in Abadan, Iran, is a former Iranian football player who played for the national youth team.

I still don't understand why Ali Khamenei has hidden these 2 great Afro-Iranian players from us. LOL

Nope, I've never posted about him before!!

I believe you're thinking of Captain Ahmad Ghiravanian who is identified in some discussions as the first Afro-Iranian pilot, he was in the Iranian Airforce around 1970. So, no, I have never before posted about any Afro-Iranian soccer player.

However I did post about a Black Moroccan soccer player who was just as good as Pele back in the 50s-60s, his name was "Larbi Benbarek".

LOL, I think you're the one, sir, whose brain cells are dying off.

Or maybe you were thinking of Palestinian "Pele" Suleiman Al-Obeid Killed in Gaza while waiting for Food Aid last year in 2025. I've posted about him as well. (video below)

Yea, I remember the Palestinian ',Pele' you posted about, but I've heard of the Iranian guy and I thought it was from you.

btw, a few Zionist groups petitioned FIFA to ban Iran from the upcoming World Cup. Their demand was rejected.
😆🤣😂..they blamed Iran for starting the war against the US & Israel..and for Iran's human rights violations. Lawwd
