I can't find any decent coverage in Persian (رضا بیگدلو) and the article currently fails WP:SPORTBASIC #5. I note that his name seems to transliterate to "Reza Biqbelo" rather than the one used in the article. Nevertheless, I can find no WP:SIGCOV under any version of his name. Stats sites like Mackolik and Soccerway are all I can find and none of them indicate anything about his career that would make him likely to be notable. The NFT 'source' contains no significant coverage nor does it truly back up the claim made. In any case, even if the claim is true about him being the first Iranian footballer to have an NFT, it doesn't guarantee an article on its own, he would still need to have SIGCOV.
