AFC offers condolences on the passing of IR Iran legend Jafar Kashani

Kuala Lumpur: The Asian Football Confederation extends its condolences to the family and friends of former Islamic Republic of Iran defender Jafar Kashani, who passed away on Wednesday morning.

Kashani, a two-time AFC Asian Cup winner with Iran, was 75.

Kashani, born in Tehran, started his football career in 1964 with Shahin FC after he was scouted by the club's founder Abbas Ekrami.

He joined Persepolis three years later and was with the Iranian giants for seven seasons.
