From Iran comes devastating and deeply saddening news. Saber Kazemi, a beloved national volleyball player, rising sports star, and above all, a kind and honest young man, has tragically passed away.
Kazemi, only 26 years old, suffered a heart attack in Qatar, where he was a member of Al Rayyan SC, the team he had joined for this season. Despite all medical efforts, his condition worsened, and he was declared brain dead after sustaining severe brain damage.
The Iranian Volleyball Federation confirmed the heartbreaking news, describing it as an unbearable loss for the country and the entire volleyball world.
Saber Kazemi was more than just an athlete — he was a symbol of hope, determination, and humility. His bright smile and warm spirit touched everyone who knew him. On the court, he gave everything for his team; off the court, he was admired for his honesty, kindness, and respect for others.
Our hearts go out to his family, teammates, and loved ones during this time of unimaginable grief.
Rest in peace, Saber Kazemi — your light and kindness will live on in every heart you touched.
