[edit] Club career
Vahid started his professional football career with Pas Tehran in his homeland. He arrived in Germany for the 1999/2000 season to play for Hamburger SV. Although playing alongside his fellow Iranian international Mehdi Mahdavikia, he had just 12 appearances, so he left the club for VfL Bochum to show his real ability. He had three good seasons with Bochum, scoring 34 goals in 87 appearances. During his last season there he scored 16 goals, helping Bochum to finish fifth in Bundesliga and qualify for the 2004/05 UEFA Cup. This prompted Bayern Munich to grant him in a €2M contract, hence giving him the chance to follow in the footsteps of Ali Daei. After one season in Munich, he joined Hannover 96 where he has been playing since season 2005/06. On April, 23rd 2008 VfL Bochum officials announced that he will return to their club in the season 2008/09. Hashemian signed a two year contract with an option for one extra year.
