## History

### Establishment

Mes Kerman Football Club was formed on 2 March 1998 by Kerman's copper industry. The national Iranian copper industry had already formed a [football team](/source/Mes_Rafsanjan_F.C.) in Rasfanjan a year prior. They started playing in [Iran Football's 2nd Division](/source/Iran_Football's_2nd_Division) and were promoted to the [Azadegan League](/source/Azadegan_League) in 2000. [Bijan Zolfagharnasab](/source/Bijan_Zolfagharnasab) was appointed in 2000 as head coach of the club after the team was promoted to the Azadegan League.

### Azadegan League (2000–2007)

They were promoted to the Azadegan League in [2000–01 season](/source/Azadegan_League). In [2005–06 season](/source/Azadegan_League) under management of [Nader Dastneshan](/source/Nader_Dastneshan), the club was promoted to the [IPL](/source/Iran's_Premier_Football_League) for the [2006–07](/source/Persian_Gulf_Cup_(2006-2007)) season.

### Persian Gulf Cup (2007–2014)

They started the league in 2007 with [Farhad Kazemi](/source/Farhad_Kazemi) but he was replaced by [Amir Ghalenoei](/source/Amir_Ghalenoei) halfway through the season where they finished second in the second half of the season league. [Parviz Mazloomi](/source/Parviz_Mazloomi) was appointed in 2008 as the head coach and the club was promoted to the [AFC Champions League](/source/AFC_Champions_League) for the first time in their history by finishing third in the league. Mes surprisingly progressed to the last 16 and but got knocked out by fellow countrymen [Zob Ahan](/source/Zob_Ahan_F.C.). In that same season the club finished ninth in the league.

### Return to Azadegan League

In the [2013–14 Iran Pro League](/source/2013%E2%80%9314_Iran_Pro_League) season, Mes finished bottom of the league and were relegated to the [Azadegan League](/source/Azadegan_League) with one matchday left. In the same season Mes reached the [2014 Hazfi Cup Final](/source/2014_Hazfi_Cup_Final) losing 1–0 to [Tractor Sazi](/source/Tractor_Sazi_F.C.). On 27 April 2015 after a 0–0 draw against [Aluminium Hormozgan](/source/Aluminium_Hormozgan_F.C.), Mes Kerman secured a spot in the Persian Gulf Pro League promotion play-off. However, they lost to [Esteghlal Khuzestan](/source/Esteghlal_Khuzestan_F.C.) to miss the qualification. Riots ensued in the stadium afterwards as Mes fans set fires to the seats.

In March 2016 Mes Kerman coach Begovic was replaced with [Akbar Misaghian](/source/Akbar_Misaghian).
