Javad Kazemian (Persian:جواد كاظميان; born 23 April 1981 inKashan,Iran) is an Iranian formerfootballwinger. He is commonly mistaken for a striker as he is frequently involved in running towards the opposing box, but his preferred position is a right winger.
He started with the youth team ofSaipa and was able to make it to the senior team. There he showed some great performances and was called up to theIranian national team whenMiroslav Blažević was Iran's manager.

In 2008, he went on loan toAjman football club, following a series of poor performances withAl-Shabab. He had another average season with 17 matches and scoring just 6 goals for the club. He parted ways with Ajman in 2010, following two poor seasons with the club.In 2010, he signed withDubai clubEmirates, avoiding a return to Iran.
He finally returned to Iran in 2010 and signed forSepahan and won the league.
