Aluminium Arak Promoted to Iran Professional League


TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Aluminium Arak celebrated promotion to the Iran Professional League (IPL) following a 1-0 win over Damash Gilan on Sunday.

Abolfazl Akasheh scored the only goal of the match in the 15th minute in Arak.

Mes Kerman failed to secure promotion to the IPL on goal difference. The team defeated Shahrdari Tabriz 3-0 in Tabriz but it needed one more goal to secure promotion.

Last week, Mes Rafsanjan had clinched promotion to the IPL and Shahin Bushehr was relegated from the IPL Sunday night.

Aluminium Arak, headed by Rasoul Khatibi, has qualified for the Iran Professional League for the first time.
