Persepolis' assets are being auctioned off due to a debt owed by the club's red shareholder bank.
An auction of some of Persepolis FC’s assets was held, raising around 2 billion tomans to cover part of the club’s debt.
According to a report by the specialized sports economics website, citing Fars, a creditor of Persepolis FC filed a complaint, leading to a ruling by Branch 41 of Tehran’s Public Court of Justice. The court ordered the seizure and subsequent auction of the club’s assets, which was eventually held, resulting in the sale of some of Persepolis’ property.
The auction featured 288 items from Persepolis FC, including computers, printers, refrigerators, copiers, scanners, water coolers, televisions, air conditioners, microphones, speakers, desk phones, swivel chairs, safes, comfortable furniture, and other club equipment, all of which were sold.
Judicial experts estimated the value of these 288 items at nearly 2 billion tomans, and this amount was ultimately used to pay part of the debt from the sale of the club’s assets.
However, what stands out about this auction is that the buyer of Persepolis FC’s assets was a subsidiary of one of the club’s major shareholder banks—a detail that makes the auction particularly noteworthy given Persepolis’ ownership structure.
As a result, approximately 2 billion tomans of the club’s original debt, which totals several tens of billions of tomans, were covered by the sale of the seized assets. However, a significant portion of the debt remains unpaid.
Legal efforts to collect the remaining debt continue, and Persepolis FC must take action to resolve the outstanding debt and prevent further legal consequences from this case.
End of message.
