Rah Ahan (راه آهن in Persian) is a football team based in Tehran, Iran. They currently play in the IPL. The team is sponsored by Iran's national railroad company. Up until recently the club always provided players to Esteghlal FC. The club was promoted to the IPL with quite a lot of controversy, after allegations of match-fixing, and use of ineligible players. Sanat Naft FC launched complaints against the club, and Rah Ahan's appearance in the IPL was not certain until the first day of the 2005-06 season. The courts in Iran at the beginning of the 2006-07 season confirmed that Rah Ahan had been promoted unfairly and that Sanat Naft should have been promoted instead. It is not clear how this issue will be resolved, as the courts reached this decision three weeks into the season.
