Navad

Navad (Persian: نود, meaning "ninety [minutes]") was a popular Iranian, Persian language weekly television programs broadcast by Channel 3 in Iran and hosted by Adel Ferdosipour. The program focused on the football matches played in the Persian Gulf Pro League every week. Every episode typically featured two guests, one analyzing the technical aspects of the matches, and the other discussing the referee's decisions and errors. On some shows, famous football players were invited and interviewed as well. The show contained segments like "With the Legionnaires" (reporting on the Iranian footballers playing abroad), "Navad News" (the latest news about football in Iran) and polls (sometimes prediction of the upcoming matches) which could be contributed to via SMS or the Navad official app on iOS and Android. Since the 2015-16 series, the analysis team of the program scores the players of Persian Gulf Pro League each week and overall, on the style of Kicker, from 1.00 (best) to 6.00 (worst). Starting from the 2016–17 series, the Navad website launched a football manager online game, using live stats of the players contributing in the Iran Pro League, entitled Football Fantasy.
