[edit] History

[edit] Establishment

Rah Ahan was formed in 1937 in Tehran by Iran Railways and to this day the club still remains in their control. Rah Ahan has a history of supplying players to Esteghlal F.C., however in recent times the number of players being transferred to Esteghlal has dramatically decreased. In 2008 Rah Ahan was moved to Ray because the city of Tehran has many football teams that have low attendance figures.

[edit] Match Fixing Scandal

The club was promoted to the IPL with much controversy, after numerous allegations of match-fixing, and use of ineligible players. Sanat Naft F.C. launched complaints against the club, and Rah Ahan's presence in the IPL was not certain until the very first day of the 2005-06 season. The courts in Iran at the beginning of the 2006-07 season confirmed that Rah Ahan had been promoted unfairly and that Sanat Naft should have been promoted instead. Sanat Naft F.C. will get automatic qualification to the IPL for the 2007/08 season regardless of their league position.

[edit] Persian Gulf Cup

They have been mostly an average team where they finish in mid table but since the arival of Ansarifard as the chairman they look more stable.They finished 11th in the 2008-09 season.
