Personal

In 2011, prior to his departure to Kyrgyzstan to participate in Football at the 2012 Summer Olympics – Men's Asian Qualifiers Preliminary Round 1, Mazaheri was involved in an altercation outside his house in Ahvaz.[6] While reports vary, reports state that Mazaheri was physically assaulted and the windows to his house were broken.[7] It was reported in Iranian newspapers in July 2011 that Mehdi Rahmati, Iranian international, asked as one of his conditions on joining Perspolis that "Esteghlal Ahvaz goalie" be signed as his reserve. It is widely speculated that the goalie mentioned was Mazaheri, since they both got their start in Fajr Sepasi youth ranks.[8]
