'''Vahid Talebloo''' ({{langx|fa|وحيد طالب‌لو}}; born 26 May 1982 in [[Tehran]], [[Iran]]) is a retired [[Iran]]ian [[Goalkeeper (association football)|football goalkeeper]].

==Club career==

He began receiving media attention when he was able to save [[Ali Daei]]'s spot kick in an [[Iran's Premier League football|IPL]] match at the beginning of the [[IPL 2005/06|2005/2006]] season. Ever since then he has become the main goalkeeper for Esteghlal and was one of the keys to [[Esteghlal Tehran FC]] winning the IPL championship in the 05/06 season.

Among a series of good performances was his game against city rivals [[Persepolis FC|Persepolis]] in which he made eight saves including a penalty shot stop and three one-on-one grabs. In August 2006, Talebloo signed a one-year contract extension with [[Esteghlal F.C.]] although he had said that he will leave [[Esteghlal Tehran FC|Esteghlal]] because the directors there had not kept the promises they made to him.

Talebloo extended his contract again with [[Esteghlal Tehran FC|Esteghlal]] by signing a 2-year contract on 1 March 2007.

In [[2007–08 Hazfi Cup]], he took [[Esteghlal Tehran FC|Esteghlal]] to the final himself by stopping penalties in matches against [[Zob Ahan Isfahan F.C.|Zob Ahan]], [[Rah Ahan F.C.|Rah Ahan]] and [[Foolad F.C.|Foolad]]. His most memorable stop was against Iranian legend [[Ali Daei]]. He was a regular player in 2008–09 for [[Esteghlal Tehran FC|Esteghlal]] and was one of the key players. He stayed in [[Esteghlal F.C.|Esteghlal]] for another two seasons where he had to compete with [[Mohammad Mohammadi (footballer)|Mohammad Mohammadi]] for a place on the team.{{citation needed|date=January 2020}}

After [[Esteghlal F.C.|Esteghlal]] bought the [[Team Melli]] keeper [[Mehdi Rahmati]], he left Esteghlal for [[Shahin Bushehr F.C.|Shahin Bushehr]] in summer 2011 where he played most of the season but missed the last four matches due to the broken shoulder. He left Shahin after the team's relegation to the [[Azadegan League]]. After he was out for one season due to serious injury, he returns to the fields by signing a three-year contract with [[Rah Ahan F.C.|Rah Ahan]].{{citation needed|date=January 2020}}
