Club history
In 1948, with the help of Hasan Fakheri, the Shahin Ahvaz club was created. The club played in the local Ahvaz leagues for many years until 2007.
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, almost every player left the team and moved on to other teams with bigger contracts. The management started with fresh and young new players, however due mostly to lack of sponsorships and mismanagement after the passing of Dr. Shariati and departure of Mr. Nasirabbasi, and Mr. Ashrafi, Shahin was never able to re-claim their past golden era and always remained in the second division.
