History of Bargh Shiraz
How the Club Started
In 1946, some young people decided to create a football club. For the first few years, the team had money problems. For a short time, the city council helped them. Later, the Shiraz Electrical Company became their main sponsor.
Bargh Shiraz is known as one of the oldest football clubs in Iran. It is also one of the oldest in all of Asia.
Club Successes and Challenges
Bargh's success was not always easy to find. The club often faced difficulties. Over the years, they sometimes played in lower football leagues. Their biggest win was the Hazfi Cup in 1997.
In recent years, the team usually finished in the middle of the league table. Sometimes, they had to fight hard to avoid being moved down to a lower division. The 2007–08 season was their best. They finished 7th in the top league. However, they were moved down in the 2008–09 season after changing coaches three times.
Tough Times for the Club
In the 2011–12 season, Bargh had a very difficult time. There was a big disagreement about who should be in charge of the club. The original owners decided they would no longer support the team.
Two business people volunteered to help the football team. But this led to one of the hardest years for the club. The team was moved down to the second division. In 2012, the new owner made a deal with another club. This allowed Bargh to play in the Azadegan League again. In the same year, the club's futsal team, Bargh Shiraz FSC, won their second division cup. This meant they were promoted to the first division.
Shiraz Football Rivalry
The Shiraz derby (Persian: شهرآورد شیراز) was a special football match. It was played between the two biggest clubs in Shiraz. These teams were Bargh Shiraz and Fajr Sepasi. These matches were always very exciting for fans.
