League One Leaders Grapple with Facility Crisis

Pars Jonoubi Jam has reached the top of the First Division table and is considered a serious contender for promotion to the Pro League, but financial problems and a shortage of basic facilities threaten the composure of coach Reza Mohajeri's team.

According to "Varzesh Se", South Pars Jam has been one of the successful teams in the first five weeks of the Azadegan League. The team, led by Reza Mohajeri, achieved promising results and reached the top of the table with a 1-0 victory against Naft and Gas Gachsaran in the fifth week, so that the hope of this club's return to the Premier League will once again be revived among its fans.

However, the conditions of South Pars off the field are clearly different from the position of this team in the table. While the Mohajiri students are trying to maintain the top position and continue the competition on the way up, a series of financial, training and welfare problems have brought the dissatisfaction of the players.

One of the most important problems is the payment status of team members. Players and staff members who have been involved in pre-season training and official matches for weeks, have faced a delay in receiving the amounts of their contracts; An issue that had previously caused dissatisfaction in the South Pars complex.

But the problems of the leader of League One are not limited to financial issues. With the transfer of the team's training place to Jam city, the accommodation conditions and facilities needed by the players have also become one of the important challenges of the club.

According to the information about the state of the team, the dormitory complex intended for the accommodation of the players is not yet fully ready for operation and parts of it are in a semi-constructed state. Also, the gas of this complex is not connected and the players have to stay there in groups of six people.

This condition, even for the team that is at the top of the first division league table, is far from the expected standards of a professional group and has also led to the protests of the players.

The problem of the training ground has also been added to the other concerns of the South Pars complex; An issue that can affect the quality of preparation and technical plans of the staff during the season.

It is worth noting that these problems have been raised in a situation where South Pars is still in the early weeks of the competition and most of the difficult path of the Azadegan League remains.

South Pars has a history of being in the Premier League and now, under the guidance of Reza Mohajeri, they have once again got the opportunity to return to the first level of Iranian football. However, maintaining the current position without providing the necessary infrastructure will be a difficult task.
