He started his football career with Fath Tehran and Pas teams and then joined Hamburg.
Hashemian played in the Bundesliga for Hamburg, Bochum, Bayern Munich, and Hannover 96. He also played for Iran’s national team in the 2006 World Cup.
Vahid Hashemian began his coaching journey in the lower leagues of Germany and gradually reached bigger teams.
He also worked as an assistant for four years with Iran’s national team under Marc Wilmots and Dragan Skočić.
