POSTS STORIES REELS

Another World Cup was around the corner, and I watched as countries dropped some of the hardest kits in history. But one country was noticeably missing and had been since 2014.

Iranian fans had spent years being treated like a market that wasn’t worth designing for. No one seemed interested in telling our story. We were either an afterthought, or we didn’t exist at all.

So I thought: why don’t I make it?

It was pretty far-fetched as I had never designed anything. But the more I questioned whether I was qualified, the more I thought “chera ke nah?”

I have spent most of my life in some type of jersey, from playing to refereeing. I know what it means to have a crest on your chest and have it represent something bigger than you.

I decided to full send. And I became obsessed.

For months, I poured everything into creating something that represented Iran the way I saw it and felt it. Something people could put on and genuinely feel proud to wear.

And if you were around me leading up to the World Cup, chances are you got recruited too. If you answered questions about Simurghs, looked at the 45th iteration of a crest, received random shipments, taught me what a tech pack was, or helped me figure out what came next - thank you.

At the start, I didn’t know how to do anything. I just knew what I wanted it to feel like, and I was incredibly lucky to have people who lent me their time, knowledge, talent, and belief.

And maybe that’s the most fitting part.

VATAN is about community, and community found its way into every part of creating it.

So proud to officially introduce @vatan__fc (a little late in true Persian fashion) My love letter to you, Iran, football, and the feeling of home.

Thank you @admiralsports from the bottom of my heart for believing in this dream. And to every single person who helped me bring it to life - MERCI!!!

from my heart to yours.
