History edit
Establishment edit
The club was founded in 1948. The club was one of Shahin Tehran branches at the time.
The golden years were in the 1980s when the team was being managed by Dr. Shariati, Mr. Ashrafi, and Mr. Nasirabbasi. The team won their first every "Hazfi" cup after defeating Perspolis Tehran in the semi-finals and then Malavan Anzali in the final game. With that championship, they made it to the AFC cup. Shahin Ahvaz hosted the first round and they beat all three teams and advanced to the next round. After that year, the management started with new players, however due mostly to lack of sponsorships and mismanagement, Shahin was never able to re-claim their past golden era and always remained in the second division.
