[edit] History

Founded in 2005, the team won the second place at the 2005 West Asian Football Federation Women's Championship in Amman, Jordan held in September and October 2005.

In May 2006, the Iranian women's national team hosted their first foreign visitors when a club from Berlin, Germany called BSV Al Dersimspor played out a 2-2 draw in Ararat Stadium, Vanak, Tehran.

The national team played BSV Al Dersimspor again, this time in Berlin, Germany on June 1, 2007.^[1]

The team won the second place once again at the 2007 West Asian Football Federation Women's Championship in Amman, Jordan in September 2007.

The 40,000 seater Azadiye Stadium with a covered roof is currently being purposely built for the women's national team and is planned to be completed by late 2009.
