International career

He was called to Team Melli again for the 2010 World Cup qualification but never played any match and while Carlos Queiroz was in charge he was invited again for the last 3 matches of 2014 World Cup qualifications where Iran qualified for the tournament while Sadeghi played all the three games.

On 1 June 2014, he was called into Iran's 2014 FIFA World Cup squad by Carlos Queiroz.[3] He played the full 90 minutes in all three matches for Team Melli, and was one of Iran's key players in defense.
