[edit] Club Career
Due to his father's career as an employee for Iran's state-owned railroad company, Jabbari began his club football playing for Rah Ahan FC, a club operated by the same company. His coach at the club, Ahadi soon moved to Esteghlal's youth team, and took Jabbari with him. To gain experience he was loaned out to Mashhad club, Abu Muslem. There he was able to show his talents and after a solid season rejoined Esteghlal FC in the 2005-06 season. Jabbari was one of the most impressive players in the league that season and was considered by many to be the league MVP. He helped the team win the championship that season.
After World Cup 2006 Mojtaba Jabbari, due to problems with Esteghlal's management, initially signed a two year internal contract with their main rivals, Persepolis FC. Controversy arose and Esteghlal management were extremely angry at the move made by Persepolis. Jabbari later decided to go back to Esteghlal and the internal contract was cancelled.
[edit] National Team
While playing for Abu Muslem, Jabbari was called up to the national team camps several times, but was not able to create a place for himself in the team. He also played on Iran's B team in the Islamic Solidarity Games held in Saudi Arabia. Soon after he was called up to the national team again, and made his international debut versus Bosnia on February 2, 2005. After his impressive displays the following season in Esteghlal, he was a constant call up to the national team and there was some chance that he might have been a starter. He was called up for Iran's preliminary World Cup 2006 squad, but missed the tournament as he was injured during training in Switzerland[1]. He is currently still injured and probably will not be ready to play until the second half of the upcoming IPL season.
