Who is Saeid Mozaffarizadeh?

Saeid Mozaffarizadeh is an Iranian football referee who has been refing in Iran's Pro League for two seasons and has been on the international list since 2007.

The 2006/07 season was Mozaffarizadeh's first year refing in Iran's top division and it was one of the greatest years a rookie referee could have. Mozafarizadeh called 18 matches in which he gave away 71 cards and called 4 penalties. Out of all of his 18 matches the game of week 6 between Persepolis and Saipa was his worst game of the season but overall Saeid Mozaffarizadeh had so much talent that he was named Referee of the 2006/07 IPL season by the Football Iran News & Events which was given this referee award for the first time.

During the 2007/08 season Mozaffarizadeh refed 18 matches again but this time he gave a record setting 84 cards and he called only 2 penalties. Mozaffarizadeh did so well that they named him the referee for the Persepolis vs Sepahan match on the last week which proved who the champion of the league was. He was also the referee for the Hazfi Cup Final played between Pegah and Esteghlal. At the end of the season Mozaffarizadeh was once again named the referee of the season by Football Iran News & Events but he also won the same award by the Iran Football Federation Award which was being given for the first time.
