Let's make this birthday one to remember.

41 years old (Born on July 12, 1983)

Happy Birthday, Ghasem Haddadifar! Ever since your dazzling debut with the Iranian national team back in 2010, you've been gracefully dancing around defenders and midfield chaos alike. Your footwork is smoother than birthday cake frosting—sweetening every match you play.

From orchestrating brilliant passes to scoring memorable goals, your talent has aged like fine Persian tea: strong and timeless. May this year bring even more success on the pitch—and fewer yellow cards off it!

Here's wishing our favorite midfielder another fantastic season filled with victories, laughter, and perhaps a few less tackles from behind. Cheers to many more years of football magic!
