History

edit

Establishment

edit

Before the start of the 2006–07 season, Oghab, a team with much history, sold its right to participate in the Azadegan League to Shirin Faraz. In 2012 the club name and sponsorship changed to Rahian Kermanshah.

Promotion to Iran Pro League

edit

The club achieved promotion to the Iran Pro League in 2007 after a 4–2 aggregate playoff victory against Tractor, along with Pegah Gilan.

Relegation

edit

Shirin Faraz was relegated from the Persian Gulf Cup with 3 games remaining in the season. The team was plagued with coaching and management problems for most of the season and often fielded teams consisting mostly of players from their youth squad. They failed to gain promotion the season after and finished mid table in their group. In 2012 Farman Karimi took over the club and renamed it Rahian Kermanshah Football Club.
