Club career

Vaezi played for Paykan Tehran F.C. before moving to Persepolis F.C. in 2006 on a 2-year deal. Earlier that year he was involved in a drug abuse scandal which ended in a 6-month ban from football and the breakdown of a transfer to F.C. Zob Ahan. Eventually he signed for Persepolis F.C.

During the 2006/07 season he only played a few matches for Persepolis behind the first keeper Farshid Karimi who had an incredible season but during the 2007/08 season he was the first choice keeper for most of the games but never played in the Tehran derby. This season went really well for him because he was known for his great saves and reflects but more importantly the fans preferred him over the other keepers such as international Goalkeeper Hassan Roudbarian and the previous season's first choice Farshid Karimi.

During the 2008/09 Vaezi had many injuries which made him sit out many matches and a lot of critics believe that if he was not injured as much Persepolis would have done better in the league.
