[edit] Club career

Kameli Mofrad started his career at Foolad FC. At first due to his physical style, Mofrad played some good games and became a stater for his club. He was a member of the 2004-05 Foolad team that won the IPL championship. The season after though, his performances significantly dropped in quality, and he got less playing time. When Mayeli Kohan became the team's manager, Mofrad along with a number of the other well known Foolad players left the club. In August 2006 he signed with Foolad's rival, Esteghlal Ahvaz.

[edit] International career

Jalal Kameli Mofrad was one of the players who won the gold medal in the football tournament of the 2002 Asian Games in Busan, South Korea, along with the Iran Olympic team. He had received his first cap for the national team, a number of weeks before that tournament on September 1, 2002 versus Jordan. He was a constant call up to the national team until 2005, but his poor form in the 2005-06 season cost him his spot in the national team.

Having been a couple of years away from Team Melli, in June 2007 he was once again called up to the national team and appeared in a friendly match against Mexico.
