Golnoor Holds Pre-Season Press Conference Ahead of the 1405-06 Super League
Golnoor held a press conference with members of the media ahead of the start of the 1405-06 Basketball Super League season.
Mohammad Amini, CEO of Golnoor, said at the event: The development path of young players is Golnoor's main goal, and despite budget changes, investment in young players will continue. He added: Golnoor has designed the most complete player development pathway in Iran, and the club has eight teams competing in national leagues. Amini also announced that the club is moving from relying on a budget allocation toward generating revenue and building an independent financial backing, and said the path of development is open to all basketball players in Isfahan.
Aren Davoudi, the team's head coach, said his goal is to bring Golnoor's young players to the national team and to get at least four or five players into the senior team, adding that developing young players requires patience and a long-term outlook. He described the reconciliation of the Isfahan basketball family and the return of the fans as important goals of the team, and called keeping Golnoor going under the current economic conditions a major step by the management of the factory and the club.
Maziar Mirazimi, the club's executive director and team manager, also said the Golnoor Academy's path continues with strength and that a significant number of academy players deserve to play for the senior team. According to him, Golnoor is among the title contenders in the youth categories, and this success is the result of the club's 10-year journey. Mirazimi announced that the Golnoor Academy has begun its activities in the women's section and will continue them in the second half of the year, and said the club welcomes proposals from the basketball community to increase spectator attendance. He also announced that a fitting ceremony will be held for the farewell of Aren Davoudi, one of the legends of Isfahan sport and basketball.
