[edit] Club career

Zare started his youth career at Bargh Shiraz at the tender age of 8 and stayed with the youth team until he was 20 and has played for the team ever since becoming influential in the club's relative success in recent years.

[edit] International career

He was a little known player beyond the Hafezieh Stadium in his native city of Shiraz, until his selection for the Iran national under-23 football team.

Zare was drafted to mend the defenses of the Iran national under-23 football team, after Hossein Faraki took over the coaching job. Along with Zare, Faraki also invited Alavi and the duo did not disappoint. In fact his performance was so solid that Iran's coach Branko Ivankovic invited both of the players to the squad for the game against Jordan in June 2004.

Zare was set to play for Iran at the 2006 World Cup, but after damaging ligaments in his right knee, Zare was replaced by Moharram Navidkia.
