Paykan Football Club (Persian: باشگاه فوتبال پيکان), is a football team based in Qazvin, Iran. The team is sponsored by Iran's main automobile manufacturer Iran Khodro and is named after one of its older products, the Paykan car. Paykan F.C. is the football club of the multisport Paykan Sport Club, the club has Basketball and volleyball teams.

History

Establishment

The club was established in 1967 by Mahmoud Khayami with financial help from the Iran Khodro factory. The main objective was to promote their factory's products, and improve their reputation. They were able to lure great players such as Ali Parvin, Majid Halvaei and Amir Abedini, and several of the Persepolis players of the time. In 1969 the team became the Tehran City League's champions and the team appeared to have a bright future. The team was dissolved in 1970 after a series of difficulties between the players and management. Most of the players went back to Persepolis.

Rebirth of Paykan

Paykan still operated without a football team and in specific in the 1980s with a basketball, handball, and volleyball team. Paykan did not have a football team until the year 2000, when they were able to buy Bahman's shares and participate in the top level of Iranian football after 30 years. The team participated in the Azadegan League 2000–2001 with Bahman's squad but with a different coach.

Among Iranian football clubs, the team is known to have one of the better organizations in terms of facilities and management. The team had little success and were relegated from the IPL in the IPL 2004/05 season. They were back in the IPL for the 06/07 season where they finished a respectable 7th and showed their ability to compete at the highest standard.

In 2008 Paykan was moved to Qazvin because the city of Tehran has many football teams that have low attendance figures.They had a good season but as it went through the end their results got worse and they changed their coach in the last weeks of the 2008-09 season and finished in mid table.Although they finished in the top half of the table in 2009-10 season the club chairman decided to change Hamid Derakhshan with Mohammad Ahmadzadeh as the head coach.
