Football Club Fajr Shahid Sepasi (Persian: فجر سپاسى ) is an Iranian football club based in Shiraz, Iran. The club is one the more financially restricted teams in Iran's football, and is owned by Iran's Sepah. Many young players who have yet to serve in the military (2 year military service is mandatory in Iran) choose to play for Fajr Sepasi, because of the close relationship between the team and the Iranian military. The club consists of mostly young players, and does not have a very large following in Shiraz, Bargh has a much stronger fan base in the city.
[edit] History
In 1988, a group of youngsters, who were from Shiraz along with Jafar Jafari, established a football team named Behzad. They started play in the 2nd division of Shiraz's local city league. When Majid Sepasi, was killed in the Iran-Iraq War, the team renamed it self Fajr Shahid Sepasi, to honor him. By 1991 the club had been bought by Sepah Pasdaran. In 1995 they became champions of Fars province, and in 1996 were promoted to the Azadegan League. The club has remained in the highest level of Iranian club football since then, and surprised everyone when they won the Hazfi Cup in 2001. In december 2006 Fajr was sold to organization of Basij and because of that they changed team name into Fajr Moghavemat Shiraz.
