Club history
Bahman Salehnia created the team in 1969
along with some young athletes from the port city of Anzali. After some
time, the Iranian Navy decided to become the team's main sponsor and
owner. Salehnia can be called the team's founder; he took over as the
team's manger in 1973, and until 1998 remained in the position. The team
has only had two coaches other than Salehnia, in the years since (Mohammad
Ahmadzadeh and Nosrat Irandoost). Salehnia was last manager of the team
when he helped the team climb out of the 1st division and back into the
IPL. The club has never really had great success in the league, but has
won the Hazfi Cup on three occasions, in 1976, 1986 and 1990.
