Dual Activity in Oil and Sports
Reports and published documents show that dozens of official employees of the Gachsaran Oil and Gas Company are simultaneously active in sports teams affiliated with this organization, including football, volleyball, basketball, and handball, and receive salaries and benefits from multiple sources.
Sports Contracts and Managerial Support
According to available information, these individuals, in addition to their official employment in the oil company, also receive significant amounts through sports contracts. Some sources claim that these contracts are concluded with the coordination of the CEO and the support of some influential figures. However, these claims have not yet been officially confirmed or denied by the relevant authorities.
Critics say the continuation of such a trend occurs while hundreds of educated and job-seeking youth in Gachsaran County do not even find the opportunity to participate in recruitment processes. They believe that the concentration of job and sports opportunities in the hands of a limited group leads to increased public dissatisfaction and decreased trust in recruitment mechanisms.
Political Interference and Networks of Influence
Some local sources have reported political figures' interference in the managerial and sports decisions of this organization. According to these claims, the influence of certain individuals, including Gholamreza Tajgardoon, in appointments and the management of sports teams has paved the way for the formation of a network of political and familial relations. These sources also claim that some managers, relying on political support, avoid accountability for their performance.
Negative Impacts on Sports Performance
Some sports activists in Gachsaran believe that the continued presence of certain managers and influential individuals in the structure of the Gachsaran Oil and Gas Club is one of the main factors in the decline of the team's performance and the reduction of motivation among young athletes. They call for a reform of the managerial structure, an end to appointments based on relationships, and the creation of equal opportunities for athletes and specialists.
Need for Transparency and Oversight
Given the extent of these claims, it is expected that oversight bodies, including the Oil Industry Inspection Organization and other responsible authorities, will examine the documents and concluded contracts to clarify the situation of simultaneous employment, payment methods, and appointment processes. In case of any proven violations, legal action should be taken against the responsible parties.
