Starting Out
Ahmadi began his career in 1998 with his hometown club, Shamoushak Noshahr. He first played for their youth team. By 2000, he was good enough to join the main team. After four years with Shamoushak, he moved to Saipa, a club where he later won the league championship in 2007.
Playing for Top Clubs
In 2008, Ahmadi joined Sepahan, one of the best teams in Iran. In his second season there, he helped the team win the Iran Pro League title.
Two years later, in 2010, he signed with another major club, Persepolis, based in Iran's capital city, Tehran. He later returned to Sepahan in 2011 and had a great season, helping them win the league title again.
Ahmadi had a special connection with Sepahan, joining them for a third time in 2013. During the 2013–14 season, he was considered one of the best goalkeepers in the league. He had 15 "clean sheets," which means he played 15 full games without letting the other team score a single goal.
