The Story of PAS Hamedan
How the Club Started
PAS Hamedan was officially formed on June 9, 2007. It came about after the original PAS Tehran club was dissolved. The team was first going to be called Alvand Hamedan. This name came from the Alvand mountain range near Hamedan. However, after some discussions, the name was changed to PAS Hamedan. The letters PAS stand for Piroozi Esteghamat Sarfarazi. These words mean "Victory, Endurance, Pride" in Persian.
Playing in the Top Leagues
PAS Hamedan started well in the IPL, which is Iran's top football league. They finished in 5th place in the 2007–2008 season. This was a strong start for the new club. However, their performance dropped in the next three seasons. The team was eventually moved down to a lower league in the 2010–2011 season.
Life in the Azadegan League
After being moved down, PAS Hamedan joined the Azadegan League. They hoped to quickly return to the top league. Faraz Kamalvand became their coach for their first season in this league. But he was replaced mid-season because the team's results were not good enough. Vinko Begović took over as the new coach. The team finished that season in 4th place. They did not manage to get promoted back to the IPL.
Another team, PAS Novin Hamedan, also moved up to the Azadegan League in 2012. This team now plays as Alvand Hamedan. In the 2012–13 season, PAS Hamedan finished 3rd in their group. This allowed them to enter the promotion play-offs. They won their first play-off match against Mes Sarcheshmeh. However, they lost the next round to Zob Ahan Isfahan. This meant they missed out on promotion again.
