Biranvand's reaction to being nominated as the best player in Asia

Now that I have this opportunity again, it makes me more happy and motivated. Of course, I don't consider this incident to be just me and I hope I can be a worthy representative for Iranian football.

The goalkeeper of the Iranian national football team reacted to his name being placed among the 3 candidates for the award of the best player in Asian football.

According to ambassador Arjan; Alireza Biranvand said about being nominated for the best male player of the year in Asia: This event is very valuable to me. The last time was in 2019 when I was among the 3 finalists for this award, and after that, no other goalkeeper from the Asian continent was included in this group until today.

He added: Now that I have this opportunity again, it makes me happy and more motivated. Of course, I don't consider this incident to be just me and I hope I can be a worthy representative for Iranian football.

The goalkeeper of the national team and the tractor club continued: It is not possible to reach such a position without continuous efforts, the support of teammates and the efforts of the technical team. Goalkeeping seems like an individual job, but the reality is that a goalkeeper's good performance depends on the coordination of the whole team.

Biranvand added: I have always tried to give my best performance for the national team and my club with focus and responsibility.

Referring to the experience of participating in international competitions, Biranvand admitted: The performance in the 2026 World Cup as well as last season's Asian Elite League matches were important experiences for me. The game at this level has a lot of pressure and sensitivity and helps the player to improve technically and mentally. I am happy that my performance has been noticed and nominated for such an award.

He explained: Naturally, when you are nominated for a big award, you also think about winning it. I also hope that something good will happen this time and that I can present this honor to the people of Iran and the fans who have always been behind me. However, this nomination also increases my responsibility to continue my work with a higher motivation and to be a worthy representative of my country's football.
