What happened to the Azadegan team known as Etka?

[Paradigm]

It seems they only played half of season in their league as the following table indicates: http://int.soccerway.com/national/ir...roup-b/r28885/

Does anyone know what has been going on?

I think they ran out of money and the players wouldn't play anymore. They forfeit two games which means they get disqualified from the league.

I see... strange. What is an Etka anyways? Some sort of a conceptual word?

I have also noticed there is no longer a Pas Hamedan team in Azadegan. Did they dissolve the club, or did it fall into an even lower league?! https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/PAS_Tehran_F.C.

They relegated last year.

Etka is the oldest grocery store that are mostly in universities and government owned complexes. I remember going to one as a kid with my dad every time i went to his work so I could get my chocolate bar hahaha .. They are basically the Aldi of iran when it comes to pricing..
