Football player Ali Daei under attack by the Iranian state media

Daei is now invited to FIFA’s big events such as the World Cup opening and closing ceremonies.According to the German football website Transfermarkt, Daei has earned more than $14 million for playing for Germany’s Arminia Bielefeld and Bayern Munich, the U.A.E.’s Al Shabab and Al Sadd FC in Qatar. In 1997, he signed a contract worth 1.5 million euros with Arminia Bielefeld, an amount that remains very attractive to Iranian footballers today.
