Baradaran have been crowned Badghis First Division champions after finishing a 12-week campaign at the top of the 13-team competition.

Baradaran accumulated 31 points to take the title, finishing three points clear of runners-up Sorkh Poshan, who ended the season with 28.

The final standings capped a lengthy provincial campaign played in a single round-robin format, giving Baradaran the strongest overall record across the competition.

Baradaran’s success was also reflected in the individual awards, with Hamed Mohammadi named the league’s best player.

Badghis FC goalkeeper Ali Ahmad Hassanzada received the best goalkeeper award, while teammate Idris Samim was selected as the league’s emerging player.

Sorkh Poshan’s Javid Mohammadi finished with the top-scorer award despite his side narrowly missing out on the championship.

Abu Muslim received the fair-play award.

The result gives Baradaran the provincial First Division title after a campaign in which the eventual champions and Sorkh Poshan were separated by only three points.
