Club history
1974 a football team named Mohemat Sazi
was established in Tehran. The team never had any major success and only
played in the lower leagues of Iran's club football. They came close to
making it to Tehran's top football league in the eighties. In the early
nineties the club was sponsored by a company named Maham. During the later
stages of the club's history they were sponsored by Sanam, an electronics
company. In 2002, the club's shares were sold to Saba Battery Co. (also
known as Niru Co.) which is under the control of Iran's Ministry of
Defense. Due to the club's greatly improved financial status, the team was
able to purchase talented players and was promoted to the IPL after only
two years.
The team debuted in the IPL in the 2004-2005 season. The football team was
able to secure a berth for the ACL after winning the 2005 Hazfi Cup, but
did not get past the group stage.
