Ramin Rezaeian Semeskandi (Template:Lang-fa; born 21 March 1990) is an Iranian professional footballer who plays as a defender for Persian Gulf Pro League club Sepahan and the Iran national team.
He started his career as a right-back, but he often plays as a winger. Rezaeian was Carlos Queiroz's first choice on the right side of the defense of the Iran men's national team in the 2018 FIFA World Cup qualification matches.
Early life
Rezaeian was born in Semes Kandeh-ye Olya, a village in Sari County, Mazanderan.[2]
Club career
Saba Qom
Rezaeian played his entire career for Saba Qom before signing for Rah Ahan in 2013.[3] He made 98 appearances for the club scoring seven goals.
Rah Ahan
Rezaeian signed a three–year with the Tehran-based club Rah Ahan in 2013. After several good performances in the 2014–15 season, Rezaeian was recognized as one of the best fullbacks in the league and was called up to the national team. On 3 April 2015, Rezaeian scored his team's first goal in a 2–2 draw against Persepolis. Two weeks later, on 17 April, he scored a brace in a 2–2 draw against Esteghlal Khuzestan.
Persepolis
Rezaeian joined Persepolis on 27 June 2015 with a two-year contract.[4] He scored his first goal for Persepolis in a 2–0 victory against Siah Jamegan. On 26 December 2015, Rezaeian scored a 30-yard free kick against Padideh in stoppage time to earn them a 2–2 draw. He also scored the third goal for Persepolis in the Tehran derby against Esteghlal F.C. on 15 April 2016. Persepolis won that derby 4-2. After initially signing a contract with Turkish Süper Lig club Rizespor in the summer of 2016,[5] Rezaeian cancelled his contract and re–joined Persepolis.
After an altercation with teammate Ali Alipour during a training camp before an AFC Champions League match, Rezaeian was told to train by himself. After a few weeks, his contract was eventually terminated with Persepolis and he was released.
Oostende
After rejecting an offer from Tehran rivals Esteghlal F.C., Rezaeian joined Belgian club K.V. Oostende on 9 July 2017 with a two-year contract after a successful trial period at the club. Ramin made his debut on 27 July 2017 in a 3rd round Europa League qualifier against French club Olympique de Marseille. Oostende lost the match 4–2 and Rezaeian played the full 90 minutes.
Al Shahania
