Amin Esmaeilnejad, the current star of the men’s volleyball national team of Iran, is definitely going to serve in the army.
Amin announced his military service by publishing a story on his personal Instagram page. The fact that several former stars of the Iran National Team and sports people raised their request for the Iranian federation to make an effort to exempt the star player from military service didn’t help. The Shandab Yazd member last season, who’s said to have received offers from Italian clubs, practically got a ban to play abroad with a call to join the army, which was according to the existing law in the country. For Amin, military service will continue from today, September 13, as he has already served one year.
The powerful opposite hitter, the protagonist of the last FIVB VNL and the FIVB World Championship, has been called up to continue his military service by the Iranian authorities only a few days upon returning to the country from playing in the World Champs in Poland and Slovenia. He was to report to the command headquarters of Golestan province in northern Iran at 7 a.m. with the necessary clothing, the text message, which he received and whose content he shared on Instagram, said.
