Alireza Beiranvand is Iran's most celebrated goalkeeper of his generation, famous for saving a Cristiano Ronaldo penalty at the 2018 World Cup and for a remarkable personal story — he reportedly slept rough near Tehran's Azadi Stadium as a teenager before being discovered. His time at Persepolis established him as the best goalkeeper in Iranian football, and a move to Boavista in Portugal gave him European exposure. Now back in Iran with Tractor Sazi, Beiranvand remains a commanding, shot-stopping goalkeeper whose presence and reputation make him central to Iran's World Cup ambitions.
