[edit] Club career
Due to his father's career as an employee for Islamic Republic of Iran Railways[citation needed], Jabbari began his club football playing for Rah Ahan F.C.. His coach at the club, Ahadi soon moved to Esteghlal F.C. youth team, and took Jabbari with him. To gain experience he was loaned out to F.C. Aboomoslem.He was part of the team that went to final of the Hazfi Cup with F.C. Aboomoslem. There he was able to show his talents and after a solid season rejoined Esteghlal F.C. 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.
In 2006, he got injured and was not ready to play until the second half of Persian Gulf Cup (2006-2007) season, in which he made a comeback in a 20 minute appearance vs. Saipa FC on January 27, 2007. He is back to the club's starting lineup for the IPL 2007/08 season.
Jabbari has been linked to a move to French side Olympique de Marseille.
[edit] International career
While playing for Aboomoslem, 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 for Iran Under-23 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].
The injury kept him out of Team Melli for 2007, but came back to the team in January 2008 for the 2010 FIFA World Cup qualification campaign.
