Let's make this birthday one to remember.

36 years old (Born on May 02, 1988)

Happy birthday, Alireza Haghighi—the guardian of goals and chief frustrator of forwards! Ever since your standout journey began with Rubin Kazan in 2012, you've kept the nets safer than a dragon guarding treasure. Iran’s very own human wall; strikers quake at just seeing you lace up those gloves.

From becoming an essential pillar for Team Melli back in 2010 to saving unforgettable strikes on international stages—your quick reflexes have brought countless cheers (and probably made many opponents shed tears!). May today be easier than facing penalty kicks against top-tier attackers. Celebrate loud enough so even opposing teams join the applause—Cheers!
