<h2>What this directive determines</h2>
<p>The conditions each Premier League club must satisfy before concluding a contract with a foreign player or coach in order for the contract to be registered and the card to be issued.</p>
</div>
<div class="reg-sec hi">
<h2>Key points</h2>
<ol class="reg-tl">
<li><b class="t">Settlement of FIFA and CAS awards is the first condition</b>A club is permitted to conclude a contract with a foreign player or coach only where it has paid, or reached agreement with the opposing party on, <strong>all overdue payables and debts that have given rise to a final decision before FIFA or the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS)</strong>. Confirmation of the absence of debt rests with the Federation's International Relations Department and Players' Status Committee, and the club must obtain the confirmation before registration.</li>
<li><b class="t">Minimum sporting record for an Asian player</b>A player from the first-tier countries of Asia and Oceania (including Japan, South Korea, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Australia and Saudi Arabia) must, in the two years preceding the contract, have a specified record with the under-23 or senior national team of their country; for other Asian countries, at least 4 senior international matches in the past two years are required.</li>
<li><b class="t">The club route in place of the national-team route</b>A player without a national-team record is admitted through the club route: at least 8 matches in the past two seasons in the top division or the cup competition of specified countries, provided that the former club stood among the first six places in that country's final league table.</li>
<li><b class="t">Practical effect</b>In practice these conditions are the gateway through which any foreign national enters the Iranian league; breaching them means a contract that is not registered and a card that is not issued.</li>
</ol>
</div>
<div class="reg-sec">
<h2>Who this document matters to</h2>
<p>Premier League clubs and the intermediaries who present foreign players. Under the June–July 2026 resolution of the Board of Directors, the ceiling on foreign players per club has been reduced to <strong>4</strong> — a resolution whose full text is available on this site.</p>

<p class="reg-lead">Regulations for the staging of the national clubs' Hazfi Cup (commemorating the liberation of Khorramshahr) — 1402 edition.</p>
<table class="reg-facts">
<tr><td>Edition</td><td><b>1402</b> — Iran Football League Organisation</td></tr>
<tr><td>Structure</td><td>9 pages</td></tr>
<tr><td>Status</td><td><strong>Governing edition</strong> — replaces the regulations adopted in 1398</td></tr>
</table>
<div class="reg-sec">
<h2>What these regulations govern</h2>
<p>The staging of the national clubs' Hazfi Cup, the competition named in commemoration of the liberation of Khorramshahr: the conditions of entry for teams from the various tiers, the draw and the designation of the host, the sequence of rounds through to the final, and the obligations of clubs at each round.</p>
</div>
<div class="reg-sec hi">
<h2>Key points</h2>
<ol class="reg-tl">
<li><b class="t">A route to the final from every tier</b>The Hazfi Cup is the only competition that places teams from the lower and provincial leagues in a single bracket with Persian Gulf Pro League teams; these regulations determine the route of entry for each tier.</li>
<li><b class="t">Asian qualification</b>The winner of the Hazfi Cup obtains a place in the Asian club competitions — a point that gives disputes in this competition legal weight.</li>
<li><b class="t">Relationship to the 1398 edition</b>This edition replaces the regulations adopted in 1398, whose full text remains available within this same family; the earlier edition governs the competitions of the seasons preceding 1402.</li>
</ol>
</div>
<div class="reg-sec">
<h2>Who this document matters to</h2>
<p>Clubs at every tier that enter the knockout bracket, and the provincial organisers of the early rounds. Objections concerning hosting, the draw and the conditions of entry are assessed against this text.</p>

</ol>
