Arash Borhani (Persian: آرش برهانى , born September 14, 1983 in Kerman, Iran) is an Iranian football player, who currently plays for Pas Tehran in Iran's Premier Football League.
Having just moved to Pas Tehran in the IPL, he helped the club to finish second in the IPL 2002/03 season. He continued with Pas for the next seasons and became a fixed starter. He was one of club's main players in its 2005 Asian Champions League campaign.
Shortly before the 2006 World Cup, Borhani signed for the UAE side, Al Nasr.
On January 21, 2007 Borhani signed back with his former team Pas Tehran after being sacked by Al Nasr due to unforseen circumstances.
While playing for Pas, he was called to the Iran national under-23 football team team for the 2004 Athens Olympics qualifications, where he had some good performances, including scoring four goals in two games versus Uzbekistan. Despite the talent on the team, the Iran Under-23 team did not qualify for the 2004 Olympic games.
Around the same time he was called up to the senior Iranian national team, where he scored some crucial goals, such as the tying goal versus Qatar in a World Cup qualifying match. He was not a regular starter for the team, but he was among Iran's final squad for 2006 World Cup.
In November 2006, he once again joined Iran national under-23 football team to participate at the football competition of the 2006 Asian Games. In the quarter-final match against China, Arash Borhani, after masterfully dribbling around the Chinese goalkeeper, held the ball short of the goal line and invited his team-mates to approach. He held that position for a few second before moving the ball over the line and then started running with joy towards the bench and celebrating with others. Later on he apologized for dishonoring the Chinese team.
