Ebrahim Mirzapour (Persian: ابراهیم میرزاپور; born 1978) is a retired Iranian football goalkeeper, who played most of his career for Foolad F.C .

Club career

Foolad

He started his professional IPL career, playing for

Esteghlal Ahvaz.[3]

Esteghlal Ahvaz & Steel Azin

He was seriously injured after only four appearances for Esteghlal Ahvaz, an injury that kept him out of play for fourteen months. He made his first appearance for his new club

Shirin Faraz
in November 2007.

Saipa

Then, for the

Team Melli
.

Retirement

He joined

Sang Ahan
for the next season and played 16 matches. Mirazpour retired from professional football in 2013.

International career

Ebrahim Mirzapour's introduction to the Iranian football squad certainly raised a few eyebrows in

2002 World Cup, due to their 2–1 aggregate loss to the Republic of Ireland
in the playoffs.

Ebrahim Mirzapour was able to keep his starting position in the national team coached by

2006 World Cup qualifying matches. Iran together with Japan were the first nations to qualify for the 2006 World Cup
, where Mirzapour played in all three of Iran's matches.

Although his outstanding reflexes and agility are noted, Mirzapour has a habit of suffering from lapses in concentration and is prone to make mistakes especially on goal kicks. He played a great game in Iran's second World Cup match vs. Portugal, although they lost 2–0.

Post World Cup

After the world cup and the criticism on him, he was invited to

West Asian Football Federation Championship 2010 and was part of the squad in 2011 Asian Cup under Afshin Ghotbi
.
