I don't know why everyone is concerned about him playing an Israeli team. He's retired from Team Melli, so it's useless to ban him. Most of his family are in USA anyways from what I've seen on this forum. What's the worst that can happen?

APOEL only played a 2:2 against Hapoel Beer Sheva and their striker got a red card. I‘m really curious now if Reza will play at home or not...Comment

The Cyprus league spent a lot of money on imports this year and Reza was one of them!
Europe or bust
Champions APOEL FC have found themselves in a tight spot after being knocked out early from the lucrative Champions League by unfancied Lithuanian outfit FK Suduva in one of the biggest shocks the club has experienced.
However, the champions have proceeded with quality signings such as Iranian international striker Reza Ghoochannejhad. Reza, as he is widely known, was part of the Iranian squad which travelled to Russia for the World Cup this summer.
The Iranian striker has played 44 times for his country also played for Netherlands at youth level as he also has a Dutch passport.
He is valued at €1.5 mln (high for Cyprus standards). APOEL have also resigned popular Argentinian midfielder Tomas De Vincenti, whom they had sold to Saudi Arabian side Al Shabab for €2.7 mln last year.
APOEL, are not expected spend any more money to bring in more signings as much depends on their progress in the Europa League, and as it has kept most of last year’s squad.We are currently witnessing a revolution in Iranian football. Team Melli has never been stronger than it is today, and we will only get better.Comment

Gucci added to APOEL's European roster to face Astana:
"With REZA and DELTA for clubs!
Bere Seva belongs to the past with the Cyprus champions righting on the Israelis and now "looking" to overcome the last obstacle before the Europa League groups.
The obstacle is called Astana, which is quite familiar with the champions. A group with peculiarities (distant journey, plastic turf, prehistory).
In an attempt to qualify for the clubs, the "blue-yellow" will have two strong weapons with Reza Ghoochannejhad and Guillermo Dellatore to be available to Bruno Baltazar.
The former will be in the euro-roster after the well-known political issues concerning his nationality and the second he built the penalty he was carrying from Turner.
Two footballers will give new momentum to the championship game and will strengthen the team's offensive line."
