According to Sardar, he was first introduced to the sport when he started to kick some balls on a family trip inTurkmenistan[3][4][5][6] when he was 9.[7] He began his career at Oghab Gonbad ofGonbad-e Kavus.[8] He also playedvolleyball and was invited toIran's national under-15 volleyball team.[7] After some years, he joined Shamoushak Gorgan, before joiningEtka Gorgan, who were playing in Division 1 (the second tier) in Iran at the time.[9]
At age 15, Azmoun joinedSepahan's youth ranks.[8] While he appeared for the club during their pre-season friendlies abroad in Turkey, he did not make a professional appearance for the club as Sepahan won the2011–12 Iran Pro League and lifted the trophy.[7]
During the2012–13 season, thanks to Azmoun's great display in Iran's youth team, Sardar became sought after by a couple of European clubs, namelyRubin Kazan.[10] Azmoun became Iran's youngest Legionnaire when later that year he transferred to Rubin Kazan at the age of 17.[8]
