According to Mazdak, the match between the national teams of Iran and South Korea in the 2014 FIFA World Cup qualification, which was scored by Reza Ghoochannejhad, led to his most memorable commentary.

Commentary in Iran International

Mazdak Mirzaei made his first commentary in Iran International on 29 January 2020 for the match of R. Charleroi S.C. and Club Brugge KV in the fifth week of the Belgian First Division A. This was Mirzaei's first commentary after about 7 months away from football commentary.

Leaving Iran

He left Iran in the 2019 summer and joined the Iran International satellite network.[2][3] Initially, it was said that Mazdak Mirzaei had also taken a large part of the IRIB Archive with him and was planning to use it.[3] But Seyyed Morteza Mirbagheri, Deputy of Broadcasting of the Islamic Republic of Iran, denied it.[4] Some say the closure of the network's work space after Ali Foroughi's presidency began as a reason for his departure from Iran.[4]
