Perspolis Football Club,: An example for Iran and for Asia
Mohammad Rouyanian, Persepolis president, traveled to Italy at the end of last year and after meeting with Adriano Galliani, expressed his admiration for the way that the club and it’s proprietor made Milan the most decorated club in the world. The desire to create and develop a form of collaboration between the two clubs came naturally. Collaboration is already underway that will see the Milan Academy help to export and replicate the Milan Model with Persepolis. The club celebrates its 50 year anniversary this year.
