Stayed by the Iranian Football Association! 32-year-old Paris defender is infected with hepatitis B

On August 22, 32-year-old Côte d'Ivoire defender Oliye was banned by the Iranian Football Association from engaging in any football-related activities because Oliye was diagnosed with hepatitis B. For Olier, this was a disaster. In the official announcement, the Iranian Football Association stated that Oliye will not be allowed to participate in any football-related activities in the future, and even internal training of the club will not be allowed. Oliye shall not engage in football activities until further notified by the Iranian Football Association. The Iranian Football Association emphasized that Oliye was infected with hepatitis B and he was expected to be out for 6 months. It is worth mentioning that Olier just joined the Persepolis Club in Iran on the last day of last month, and the two sides signed a 1+1 contract. Olier has played for many clubs, including Lens, Toulouse, Paris, Tottenham Hotspur, Villarreal, Nottingham Forest and Galatasaray. In July 2024, Oliye left Galatasaray. Since then, he has been unemployed for one year and has to be idle at home. After a year of wasted time, Olier finally found a job this summer. He had hoped to win himself a chance to return to the Ivory Coast national team through his outstanding performance at the club, and he intends to represent the team in next year's World Cup. However, human calculations are not as good as God's calculations. Infection with hepatitis B has shattered Oliye's newly restarted football dream. After a six-year quit, it is almost difficult for him to return to the national team.
