The Aichi-Nagoya 2026 eFootball final ended with Iran on top, but the gold-medal match was not one-way traffic. Malaysia won the mobile leg first, before Hassan Pajani produced a decisive console performance that flipped the aggregate to 4-2 for Iran.
Malaysia strikes first on mobile
Farish Luzman beat Abolfazl Aghaeinasab 2-1, giving Malaysia the early edge and putting pressure on the console leg.
Pajani delivers a 3-0 answer
Hassan Pajani defeated Muhammad Hariz Hazmi Hakimin 3-0 on console. Combined with the mobile result, Iran finished 4-2 ahead overall.
Why the format matters
This Asian Games eFootball event is a national-team pair format rather than a one-player title. PC/console and mobile specialists both influence the medal, so weakness on one platform can overturn the other result.
The podium
Iran won gold, Malaysia silver, while Japan and Uzbekistan received bronze after losing in the semifinals with no separate third-place match.
What the result says about Iran
The title combines Pajani’s deep international experience with Aghaeinasab’s mobile contribution, giving Iran one of the early headline esports medals of the Games.
