Ramin Rezaeian Semeskandi (Persian: رامین رضاییان; born 21 March 1990)[2] is an Iranian footballer and model who currently plays for Ostende and the Iran football team.
He started his career as a right-back but due to his strong dribbling, play making, crossing and great speed, he is often used as a winger as well. Rezaeian was Carlos Queiroz's first choice on the right side of Team Melli's defense in the 2018 FIFA World Cup Qualification matches.
Early life
Rezaeian was born in Semes Kandeh-ye Olya, a village in Sari County.[3]
Club career
Saba Qom
Rezaeian played his entire career for Saba Qom before signing for Rah Ahan in 2013.[4] He made 98 appearances for the club scoring 7 goals.
Rah Ahan
Rezaeian signed a three–year with 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
After rejecting an offer from Turkish Süper Lig club Rizespor[5] Rezaeian joined Persepolis F.C. on 27 June 2015 with a two-year contract.[6] 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.
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
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.
International career
He was called into Iran's 2015 AFC Asian Cup squad on 30 December 2014 by Carlos Queiroz.[7] He made his debut against Iraq in a friendly on 4 January 2015. He also played a friendly match against Sweden. Rezaeian scored his first international goal on 17 November 2015 in a 6–0 victory against Guam. In May 2018 he was named in Iran's preliminary squad for the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia.[8]
