Alright so today I got curious about the Iran Pro League outta nowhere – like who even dominates that league? Started googling like crazy while munching snacks at 2am. First shocker: Persepolis FC ain’t just some random team. They’ve bagged 15 titles! Crazy dominance right there. Found this clunky football database site that looked straight from 2005 but hey, data is data.
Dug deeper into records and almost choked on my chips – Sepahan played 21 freakin’ seasons straight without relegation! That’s wild consistency. Then stumbled upon Esteghlal’s insane fanbase numbers – 45 million supporters? Half the country basically. Screen-shotted tables comparing titles won:
- Persepolis: 15 trophies collecting dust
- Esteghlal: 9 titles but massive bragging rights
- Sepahan: 5 wins but those never-relegated seasons? Respect
Got sidetracked reading forum rants about VAR controversies last season. Iranian fans debate harder than politicians man. Almost forgot my coffee went cold while comparing attendance records. Persepolis vs Esteghlal “Derby of Tehran” packs 100k butts in seats – louder than my blender at full speed!
Finished cross-checking stats on three diff sites cause Wikipedia editors fight like cats over year-to-year accuracy. Saved everything in messy screenshots folder labeled “IRAN BALL RESEARCH”. Realized I spent 4 hours on this rabbit hole… totally worth it tho. Who knew Iranian football had such drama?
Now why’d I even research this? Funny story – met this Iranian taxi driver in Istanbul last month. Dude wouldn’t shut up about Persepolis while driving like a maniac. Got home still curious about his rants. Pro tip: never argue football with passionate taxi drivers. They always win.
