Club history
In 1944, with the help of Mahmoud Hariri, the Shahin Esfahan club was created. This club was one of teams attached to the more popular and successful Shahin F.C. of Tehran. In 1967 due to the problems that arose in the Shahin F.C. organization in Tehran, the Esfahan branch was forced to cease operations. The club changed its name to Sepahan. The club played in the local Esfahan leagues for many years until 1993. That year the club was purchased by the Siman (cement) factory of Esfahan. It participated in the Azadegan League until the year 2000, when Foolad (Steel) Mill of Esfahan bought the team from the Siman factory. The team now plays under the name of Foolad Mobarekeh Sepahan, and enjoys very good support by the club board, and has been able to attain a respectable fan base in its hometown.
The club was able to demonstrate its worth when in the 2002-2003 season of the IPL it captured the league title, and qualified for the ACL tournament. It also won the Hazfi Cup in 2004 and was able to qualify for another season of the ACL competition. The club did not have much success in the continental tournament though. With Luka Bonačić, Sepahan waa able to once again win the Hazfi Cup on September 22, 2006. With this win they gain Iran's final and second spot in the Asian Champions' League. in the Sepahan is also one few clubs in Iranian football to have a senior reserve team, which currently participates in Iran's 2nd division and the earlier rounds of the Hazfi Cup.
