History

In October 2008 Arya Investment Company owned by Amir Mansour Arya bought Pegah F.C. sports activities due to financial problems and Damash Iranian chairman Amir Abedini took over their license. After poor result at the beginning of the 2008-2009 season Hossein Abdi and Stanko Poklepović were replaced with Bijan Zolfagharnasab, but that did not help neither and Damash was relegated to Azadegan League.

The club lost many key players to Pro league teams including Afshin Chavoshi, Mohammad Reza Mahdavi, Adriano Alves. for 2009–10 season Amir Abedini hired Firouz Karimi who was banned to work in Pro league for one season and brought many players that were working with him in the past to the club. In following season Damash made it to the promotion playoffs but they were eliminated in the playoff game against Sanat Naft and missed out on promotion.

For 2010-2011 season damash signed with former key players Afshin Chavoshi & Mohammadreza Mahdavi and also a Slovenian coach Marijan Pušnik but after only 4 weeks and getting poor result with team he was replaced by his assistant and former Pegah Gilan capitan Afshin Nazemi. Despite getting good result with team Nazemi once again was replaced by Mehdi Dinvarzadeh. On April 22, 2011 Damash was able to secure its promotion to IPL 2 weeks before end of the season.
