Football player Serdar Azmun was born on January 1, 1995 in the Iranian city of Gombed-Kavus, where at the age of nine he began to play football professionally. Azmun’s first club was Sepahan, which was based in Esfahan. At the age of 15, Serdar began to be connected to the main team to participate in the games of the Major League Championship of Iran. The successes of Serdar were so impressive that at the age of 11 he was first called to the national team of his youngest age.
"Ruby"
Two years later, Serdar Azmun signed a contract with Kazan club Rubin. It is worth noting that his compatriot, goalkeeper Alireza Hagigi, played at the club for already a year. Thanks to this contract, Serdar became the first young player in Iran, who was able to start playing in another country.
Azmuna’s debut came in July 2013, when Rubin met the Serbian Yagodina in the qualifying round of the Europa League. In the same Eurocup draw, he scored a debut goal for Kazan, when he scored an effective shot against Norwegian Molde. In the national championship, Azmun showed himself very well from the first match, coming on as a substitute in the October match with Makhachkala “Anji”. Serdar not only scored a goal, but also struck an 11-meter hit, thereby bringing the final score to defeat.
Success in Rostov
In the next two seasons, Serdar Azmun's injury prevented him from getting into the main team. In the winter off-season of 2015 he went on lease to Rostov. The debut took place in the first match after a winter break in the game with Moscow “Locomotive”, and in the second - Azmun scored his first goal for the new team. After the expiration of the lease agreement, he signed another contract with Rostov and in the season 2015/2016 became an indispensable player in the main holder of the team Kurban Berdyev.

The conflict in Kazan and the high point of Azmuna
At the end of the season, Serdar returned to the location of the Kazan club, but during the training camp, without the permission of the leadership, he left the club and went to Rostov to participate in friendly matches. In July, the management of “Rubin” filed a complaint against “Rostov” because of the player’s misconduct. Serdar Azmun didn’t return to Rubin due to the fact that the arbitration court refused to Kazan and allowed the forward to be declared for participation not only in the national championship, but also in the main European tournament, where Rostov was to represent Russia in the Champions League.
The season for Azmun turned out to be simply gorgeous. He hit match after match the gates of many rivals in the Russian championship, and in the Champions League he scored the grandees of European football in the person of Bayern Munich and Madrid Atletico.
