background
Esteghlal Club launched its futsal team in 1998 and immediately achieved success in the Iranian Futsal Premier League; the team won two championships (1990 and 1999) and two runner-up finishes in these competitions. In the 1990s, stars such as Mohammad Reza Heydarian, Siamak Dadashi, and Amir and Vahid Shamsaei were part of the team. However, in 2008, due to administrative problems, including the failure to submit the list of players on time, Esteghlal Futsal team was removed from the Premier League and effectively disbanded.[7][8] After an 18-year hiatus, Esteghlal Club officially revived its men's futsal in October 2005 and participated in the Iranian Men's Futsal League One.[9][10][1]
