Marouf has won Asian Championship once and Asian Games and Asian Cup twice each with Iran. On a club level, he won the CEV Champions League and Russian Championship once each (both with Zenit Kazan), Asian Club Championship twice (Paykan Tehran and Matin Varamin) and Iranian Championship 3 times (Sanam Tehran, Kalleh Mazandaran and Matin Varamin). Individually, Marouf was named MVP of the Asian Championship once and Best Setter of the Asian Championship, Asian Cup and FIVB World League one-time each.

This is HUGE! Marouf is such a great setter. Beijing must have paid a shxt load of money to convince him to join them. I am sure next year Beijing will be able to avenge themselves against Shanghai to finally win the title of the league tournament in China.
This is really bomb in Asian volleyball!!And if Marouf help Bejing win championship its going to be such great thing!!
