[edit] Career

Akbarpour played as a striker for the Iranian football team Esteghlal F.C. for years. Born in East Azarbaijan Province in 1972, he wore the shirt 16 for his team. He is famous for his speedy dribblings as well as scoring crucial goals for his team. Many believe that he was not lucky enough to reach his proper position in his career, since rarely was he called for the Iran national football team due to the untimely injuries he experienced and the unfavour that the national team coaches paid to him.
