History
[edit]Mes Sarcheshmeh years
[edit]Azadegan League
[edit]Mes Sarcheshmeh was owned by Kerman's largest Copper producer "Sanate Mes Kerman", the same company that owned Mes Kerman. Mes Sarcheshmeh was founded in 1998 together with several other clubs by the Copper company of Kerman. The club experienced great success in the years 2008 to 2011, being promoted twice during this period.
After a third-place finish in the 2007–2008 season, they gained promotion the following year, finishing in first place. While being tipped as favourites for the drop, they beat the odds and finished in a respectable fifth spot. The following season proved to be their last, in the Azadegan League 1 as they won the league due to their better goal difference compared to runners up Aluminium Hormozgan. This meant that Mes Sarcheshme had been promoted to the Iranian Premier League for the first time.
Promotion to the Iran Pro League
[edit]Mes Sarcheshme was the second team owned by "Sanat Mes Kerman" to have reached the Premier League, the other team is Mes Kerman. Mes Sarcheshme could not make an impact in the IPL and were relegated. In July 2013, the club was moved from Kerman to Mashhad and renamed to Padideh Shandiz for two seasons.
Padideh Shandiz
[edit]When 2012–13 season ended, Mes Sarcheshmeh had given up from administrating a professional football club. They sold their football club to Padideh Shandiz as of July 2013. New owners moved the club to Mashhad and introduced Akbar Misaghian as club boss.[4] Padideh was promoted to the Persian Gulf Pro League in the following season, and were crowned champions of the Azadegan League, after beating Naft Masjed Soleyman 1–0 in the final. Before their first season in the Iran Pro League, Padideh made several big name signings, namely Reza Enayati and Milan Jovanović. Padideh made the semi–final of the 2014–15 Hazfi Cup but lost to Naft Tehran on penalties.
Shahr Khodro defeated Qatar's Al Sailiya FC 5–4 in a penalty shootout after a scoreless draw at the Abdullah Bin Khalifa Stadium on Tuesday to secure a place at 2020 ACL for the first time in history. Shahr Khodro became the 13th club from Iran to reach the group stage.[5]
