==History==

===Shahin F.C. (1942–1967)=== [[Shahin F.C.]] was established in 1942 by Dr [[Abbas Ekrami]], a teacher.{{Citation needed|date=March 2011}} [[File:Shahinfc.jpg|thumb|160px|left|Shahin F.C. Many of the players shown in this photo went on to play for Persepolis.]] Ekrami founded the club with help of some young students under the motto {{cquote|{{Lang|fa| اول اخلاق، دوم درس، سوم ورزش}} ''First ethics, second education, third sports.''<ref name="Ghermezeteh">{{cite web |script-title=fa:تاریخچه باشگاه شاهين |url=http://ghermezeteh.com/joomla/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=12&Itemid=29 |publisher=ghermezeteh.com |language=fa |title=خانهتبلیغات قرمزتهدرباره قرمزتهسایت اصلی قرمزته کجاست؟ سایت اصلی قرمزته کجاست؟ |access-date=2011-10-06 |archive-date=2012-03-01 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120301150649/http://ghermezeteh.com/joomla/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=12&Itemid=29 |url-status=usurped }}</ref>|30px|30px|Shahin F.C.

These talents made Shahin popular in the 1960s but its very popularity was viewed as a threat by the [[IRIFF|Iran Football Federation]] and the ''Keihan Varzeshi'' newspaper (Iran's most important sports publication at the time).<ref name="enhelal"/> The conflict between them became worse and on July 9, 1967, two days after Shahin's 3–0 win against [[Tehranjavan F.C.]], the Iran Sports Organization declared Shahin F.C. as dissolved.<ref name="enhelal">{{cite web|title=40 سال بعد از انحلال تاريخي شاهين|url=http://www.etemaad.com/Released/86-04-14/225.htm|publisher=etemad.com|access-date=2007-07-05|language=fa|archive-date=2009-04-25|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090425191904/http://www.etemaad.com/Released/86-04-14/225.htm|url-status=live}}</ref> League attendance dropped and other clubs including [[Pas Tehran F.C.|Pas]], [[Rah Ahan F.C.|Rah Ahan]], and [[Oghab F.C.|Oghab]] tried to sign Shahin players.

===Establishment=== Shahin Bushehr was established in 1950 with the name of ''Khalije Bushehr''.

After years of history and competing in different levels of the [[Iranian football league system]], including a 1994–95 appearance in the [[Iran Pro League|top division]] and several years in the second level, Shahin Bushehr was renamed Shahin Pars Jonoubi Bushehr in 2007 and promoted to [[Iran's Premier Football League|IPL]] in 2009. The club is now owned by ''Pars Special Economic Energy Zone'', based in [[Asalouyeh]], [[Bushehr Province]].

===Promotion to the Iran Pro League=== The club achieved promotion to the [[Iran's Premier Football League|Iran Pro League]] after a 3–2 aggregate playoff victory against Tabriz's [[Shahrdari Tabriz F.C.|Shahrari Tabriz]], joining [[Tractor Sazi F.C.|Tractor Sazi]] in the 2009–2010 edition of the [[Iran Pro League]].

===Relegation=== In the 2011–12 season, the Shahin were finalists in the [[Hazfi Cup]] but lost to [[Esteghlal F.C.|Esteghlal]], in the same season the team was relegated to the [[Azadegan League]]. Shahin's downward trend continued the following year as they were relegated to the [[Iran Football's 2nd Division|2nd Division]]. They again were relegated in 2014, this time to the [[Iran Football's 3rd Division|3rd Division]].

====Municipality takeover==== Following a take over by the municipality in the summer of 2015, the club was renamed to ''Shahin Shahrdari Bushehr'' and bought the rights of Bahman Shiraz in the 2nd Division. After this takeover Shahin became one of the favourites to be promoted to the [[Azadegan League]]. Shahin started the 2015–16 well and advanced to the final group phase, however Shahin finished fourth in Group A and missed out on promotion by four points.

==Colours and crest== The common home kit includes a white shirt, black shorts, and white socks. Red and Yellow colours are also seen in the kit. The away kit of the club is commonly with a red background.
