A year has passed since the bitter days of worry over Saber Kazemi, a star who, with hopes of returning to the national team, had great dreams, but fate did not give him another chance to showcase his talent in the Iran jersey.

According to "Varzesh Se", it was about a year ago that bitter news affected the media atmosphere of Iran. It was announced that Saber Kazemi, the young passer of Qatar and Iran's national volleyball player, fell into a coma after an accident in the swimming pool of his residence in Doha, Qatar. In a short period of time, this news received a wide response among sports people and volleyball fans.

At first, some sources spoke of a brain problem, but Al-Ryan Qatar Club, the team Saber was a member of, raised the possibility of a heart problem. Later, a hypothesis about muscle cramps in the water was also mentioned, but a few days later, the Iranian Volleyball Federation and the doctors treating him in the country denied this issue as well.

Saber Kazemi was transferred to Tehran with the consent of his family and the coordination of the Iranian Volleyball Federation after being hospitalized for several days in one of the hospitals in Doha so that his treatment can continue under the supervision of Iranian doctors. This transfer was done with a lot of effort and in the shortest possible time, and Kazemi was admitted to Prophets Hospital in Tehran.

However, the efforts of the doctors were ultimately unsuccessful and Saber Kazemi, the Iranian volleyball star, died at the age of 26, to everyone's disbelief. A bitter incident that plunged the Iranian sports community into a deep shock.

The burial ceremony of the body of Saber Kazemi, Golestani volleyball player of the Iranian national team, was held in Aqqola city with the large presence of people, family and sports people. His body was then buried in the cemetery of this city; A bitter end to a path that could have been full of more honors.

Saber Kazemi won many honors in his career. 2021 was one of the best years of his sports career; When he reached the Asian championship with Iran's national volleyball team and he himself won the title of the best passer and the most valuable player of the tournament. In the same year, he also experienced the championship of Asia and the Premier League of Iranian Volleyball with the Sirjan Iranian Steel Team.

Just a few days before his death, Saber announced his return to Iran's national volleyball team in a short interview with Sports Se. A comeback that never materialized with his sudden passing. Undoubtedly, considering the talent and abilities of this star, it was hoped that he would once again be among the national team and play for the Iranian national team under the supervision of Roberto Piazza.

Saber Kazemi is gone, but the memory of his brilliance in Iranian volleyball will remain.
