History

Mes Sarcheshmeh is owned by Kerman's largest Copper producer "Sanate Mes Kerman". Mes Sarcheshmeh was founded in 1998 together with several other clubs by the Copper company of Kerman. In the past four years, the club has experienced enormous success as they have claimed promotion twice during this period. After a third place finish in the 2007/2008 season, they gained promotion the following year, finishing in first place. While being tipped as favourites for the drop, they beat the odds and finished in a respectable fifth spot. The following season proved to be their last, in the Azadegan League 1 as they won the league due to their better goal difference compared to runners up Aluminium Hormozgan. This meant that Mes Sarcheshme had been promoted to the Iranian Premier League for the first time. Mes Sarcheshme is the second team owned by "Sanat Mess Kerman" to have reached the Premier League, the other team is Mes Kerman.
