Sohrab Bakhtiarizadeh (Persian: سهراب بختيارى زاده , born September 11, 1972 in Noor Abad, Iran) is an Iranian football (soccer) player currently playing for Saba Battery club as well as Iran national team.
After enjoying success with Esteghlal FC where he was originally joined from Khuzestani teams, he elected to play professionally in Turkish league. The move was far from successful and Sohrab left this club under controversial conditions.
Bakhtiarizadeh was rejuvenated at Saba Battery , where a right mixture of older hands and young prospects ensured that this young team win its first trophy in a relatively short life span. Along with the likes of Ali Daei and Mohammad Navazi, Sohrab won the Hazfi Cup in 2004/05 season and hence qualified for the Asian Champions League.
He continued his powerful performance at the heart of Saba defense and did his reputation no harm by scoring goals at set pieces. His brilliant performance of this season was rewarded by a recall to duty after a 3 years absence from Team Melli.
