I believe Nosrati and Sheys came out in public in the middle of a match several years ago

This is Majid Khamisi who is African-Iranian. He scored this goal vs Persepolis 3 years ago. He may be related to Mahmoud Khamisi.

Wasn't Siavash Akbarpour half-black?

[Kavian]

Ali Mousavi

I remember a friendly game Iran played against Denmark and he was on the field. The cameraman kept zooming on him a few times, and trust me when I say the son a gun looked black and ugly ... it didn't help our boys who lived in Denmark proclaiming their Aryan race when trying to pick up Danish chicks!!

Man are people kidding here... Meydavoudi, Siavash Akbarpour, Mousavi etc are not black, they are just darker complexed (brown) Iranians, they don't look Nigerian or Somalian, they look like regular Iranians with a darker shade of colour. Though they can pass as Arabs.

Exactly, Iranians can be very diverse. That doesn't define them as black perse

You are right. The only really black player I remember is Abdolreza Barzegari. I remember him As an amazingly skilled player and I'm talking world class type ability to dribble by people at that time. He was called " black pearl". It's a shame his career could not florish because of the instability in Iranian football in the beginning of the revolution. I tried to find a video of him but wasn't able to.

Milad Maydavoudi was the last one and hey Omid Ebrahimi is "Sohib Hindi"
