Security forces said the 21-year-old Azerbaijani was detained for continuing to attend matches at the Yadegar-e Emam Stadium and chanting national and protest slogans for Azerbaijanis in front of spectators.

In recent days, pressure has increased on fans of the Azerbaijani football team Tabriz (Tractor FC). On March 5, 2025, at least three Tractor fans were questioned in Ardabil, but they chose not to reveal their identities due to security concerns.

Saman Bidar from Ardabil was detained by the IRGC on Saturday, and his relatives believe his detention was related to his refusal to cooperate with security forces in their efforts to prevent Tractor fans from chanting national slogans.
