==International career==
{{BLP unreferenced section|date=June 2019}}
He was part of the [[Iran national football team|Iran national team]] in [[2004 AFC Asian Cup]] but he did not play any match. He won the [[2004 West Asian Football Federation Championship]] with Team Melli. He was again part of the team in [[2007 AFC Asian Cup]] but he did not play any match again. Since the start of the [[2010 FIFA World Cup qualification]], he has been the number one keeper for ''Team Melli''. He also played for Team Melli in the [[2011 AFC Asian Cup qualification]].

Rahmati was the first choice keeper in [[West Asian Football Federation Championship 2010]] and [[2011 AFC Asian Cup|2011 Asian Cup]].

===Retirement===
On January 20, 2012, Mehdi Rahmati announced his temporary retirement from the national team, he stated in an interview "Maybe I cannot be at the service of Team Melli, so I temporarily announce my resignation." He added, "Due to some problems, I prefer not to say anything for the time being, but I have to say just one thing that I am not at the service of Team Melli for a while."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.persianleague.com/the-news/1-latest-news/7435-mehdi-rahmati-resigns-from-team-melli.html|title=Mehdi Rahmati resigns from Team Melli|access-date=May 17, 2016}}</ref>

After the announcement Iran national team coach [[Carlos Queiroz]] made a comment that he respected Rahmati's decision and would not invite him any more. Many in the Iranian FA tried to convince him to invite Rahmati again but Queiroz said that he was not involved in the decision and he could not see any reason to negotiate this matter with Rahmati.

In March 2013 Rahmati made a comment that Queiroz should not be the coach of Iran and the best he could do was to help as the assistant. At the end of the season Rahmati apologised to the Iranian people but not Queiroz personally in [[Navad]] TV show. Before the final three matches in June 2013 for the World cup qualifications it was rumoured that the Iranian FA and Queiroz asked him to sign an apology letter provided by them which he refused. A month later in July 2013, [[Hadi Aghili]] revealed that Rahmati told him not to sign the apology and they will beg us to return after they lose the first match which did not happen. However Rahmati was present in Training Camp in October 2014, but he was never called for an international match.

Rahmati's family is [[Iranian Azerbaijani]]<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.tabnak.ir/fa/news/508870/%D8%AA%D8%B1%D8%A7%DA%A9%D8%AA%D9%88%D8%B1%D8%B3%D8%A7%D8%B2%DB%8C-%D8%A8%D9%87-%D8%AF%D9%86%D8%A8%D8%A7%D9%84-%D9%85%D9%87%D8%AF%DB%8C-%D8%B1%D8%AD%D9%85%D8%AA%DB%8C|title=باشگاه تراکتورسازی تبریز با سید مهدی رحمتی وارد مذاکره شد|language=fa |website=tabnak.ir|access-date=24 August 2023}}</ref> from the [[Osku]] city of [[East Azerbaijan Province]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://gahar.ir/با-مهدی-رحمتی-از-سال-62-تا-92عکسگفتگو/ |title=با مهدی رحمتی از سال ۶۲ تا ۹۲/عکس+گفتگو|publisher=Khabar Online |access-date=September 18, 2014}}</ref>

After the announcement [[Team Melli]] Coach [[Carlos Queiroz]] made a comment that he respect Rahmati's decision and will not invite him any more. Many in the Iranian FA tried to convince him to invite Rahmati again but Queiroz said that he was not involved in the decision and he can not see any reason to negotiate this matter with Rahmati.
In March 2013 Rahmati made a comment that Queiroz should not be the coach of Iran and the best he could do was to help as the assistant. At the end of the season Rahmati apologised to the Iranian people but not Queiroz personally in [[Navad]]. Before the final 3 matches in June 2013 for the World cup qualifications it was rumoured that the Iranian FA and Queiroz asked him to sign an apology letter provided by them which he refused. A month later in July 2013, [[Hadi Aghili]] revealed that Rahmati told him not to sign the apology and they will beg us to return after they lose the first match which did not happen. However Rahmati was present in Training Camp in October 2014 , but he was never called for an international match.
