Before the start of the 2006-07 season, Oghab F.C., a team with much history sold its right to participate in the Azadegan League to Shirin Faraz.

Promotion to IPL

The club recently achieved promotion to the IPL thanks to a 4-2 aggregate playoff victory against Tabriz's Teraktor Sazi F.C., along with Pegah Gilan F.C..

Relegation

Shirin Faraz was relegated from the Persian Gulf Cup with 3 games remaining in the season.
