Persepolis awarded Super Cup title

Tasnim – TEHRAN, Disciplinary committee of Football Federation of the Islamic Republic of Iran (FFIRI) announced Persepolis as winner of the 2018 Super Cup.

The Iranian Football League Organization had already awarded the title to Persepolis after Esteghlal withdrew from the game but the Blues had protested the decision.

The match was originally scheduled for July 20 but Esteghlal requested Iran Football League Organization to postpone the match.

The organization refused to reschedule the match since two teams will have to play in quarter-final of AFC Champions League and Iran Professional League (IPL).

Esteghlal filed an appeal to the disciplinary committee against the decision but the committee announced Persepolis as winner after reviewing the case.
