Shahin F.C. (1942–1967) Shahin F.C. was established in 1942 by Dr
Abbas Ekrami, a teacher. Ekrami founded the club with help of some young students under the motto Shahin produced many talented players like
Parviz Dehdari,
Masoud Boroumand,
Homayoun Behzadi,
Jafar Kashani,
Hossein Kalani,
Hamid Shirzadegan, and many more that played for
Team Melli. These talents made Shahin popular in the 1960s but its very popularity was viewed as a threat by the
Iran Football Federation and the
Keihan Varzeshi newspaper (Iran's most important sports publication at the time). League attendance dropped and other clubs including
Pas,
Rah Ahan, and
Oghab tried to sign Shahin players.
Establishment Shahin Bushehr was established in 1950 with the name of
Khalije Bushehr. After years of history and competing in different levels of the
Iranian football league system, including a 1994–95 appearance in the
top division and several years in the second level, Shahin Bushehr was renamed Shahin Pars Jonoubi Bushehr in 2007 and promoted to
IPL in 2009. The club is now owned by
Pars Special Economic Energy Zone, based in
Asalouyeh,
Bushehr Province.
Promotion to the Iran Pro League The club achieved promotion to the
Iran Pro League after a 3–2 aggregate playoff victory against Tabriz's
Shahrari Tabriz, joining
Tractor Sazi in the 2009–2010 edition of the
Iran Pro League.
Relegation In the 2011–12 season, the Shahin were finalists in the
Hazfi Cup but lost to
Esteghlal, in the same season the team was relegated to the
Azadegan League. Shahin's downward trend continued the following year as they were relegated to the
2nd Division. They again were relegated in 2014, this time to the
3rd Division.
Municipality takeover Following a take over by the municipality in the summer of 2015, the club was renamed to
Shahin Shahrdari Bushehr and bought the rights of Bahman Shiraz in the 2nd Division. After this takeover Shahin became one of the favourites to be promoted to the
Azadegan League. Shahin started the 2015–16 well and advanced to the final group phase, however Shahin finished fourth in Group A and missed out on promotion by four points. ==Colours and crest==
