Behnam Yakhchali Dehkordi (Persian: بهنام یخچالی دهکردی, born 12 july, 1995) is an Iranian professional basketball player for the Gladiators Trier of the Basketball Bundesliga. He has played for the Iranian national basketball team.[1]

Personal life

On 31 January 2026, Yakhchali withdrew from the national team in response to the authorities' handling of the 2025–2026 Iranian protests, saying on his Instagram: "Until the people feel better and their hearts calm down, I have decided to stay with them and not be on the national team.".[2]
