PAS Hamedan Football Club (Persian: باشگاه فوتبال پاس همدان, Bashgag-e Futbal-e Pas Hemidan) is an Iranian football team. It is based in Hamedan, Iran. The club plays in the Azadegan League.

The team was created in 2007. This happened after another club, Pas Tehran, was closed down.

History of PAS Hamedan

How the Club Started

PAS Hamedan was formed on June 9, 2007. It took over from the older club, PAS Tehran, which had been dissolved.

The team was first going to be called Alvand Hamedan. This name came from the Alvand mountain range near Hamedan. But after thinking about it, they decided to call it PAS Hamedan. The letters PAS stand for Piroozi Esteghamat Sarfarazi. In Persian, this means "Victory, Steadfastness, Pride".

Playing in the Persian Gulf Cup

When PAS Hamedan first started, they did quite well in the IPL. This league is also known as the Persian Gulf Cup.

In the 2007–2008 season, they finished in 5th place. However, their performance dropped in the next three seasons. They eventually moved down to a lower league in the 2010–2011 season.

Playing in the Azadegan League

After being moved down, PAS wanted to get back into the IPL. They hired Faraz Kamalvand as their coach for their first season in the Azadegan League.

But the team's results were not good. So, Kamalvand was replaced by Vinko Begović in the middle of the season. PAS Hamedan finished that season in 4th place. This meant they could not move back up to the IPL.

Another team, PAS Novin Hamedan, also moved up to the Azadegan League after the 2011–12 season. This team now plays as Alvand Hamedan.

In the 2012–13 Azadegan League, PAS finished 3rd in their group. They got to play in the promotion play-offs. This happened because another team, Shahrdari Tabriz, was disqualified due to a match-fixing issue.

In the first play-off round, PAS won against Mes Sarcheshmeh with a score of 3–2 over two games. However, they lost to Zob Ahan Isfahan in the second round. The score was 5–3 over two matches.
