Iran took part as hosts in the 1974 Asian Games where Iran occupied the sixth and last place losing to eventual champions Pakistan 13–0.[citation needed]

Iran also took part in the 1985 Asia Cup held in Dhaka, Bangladesh where Iran came last in the 10-nation event again suffering a heavy 16–0 defeat at the hands of again eventual winners Pakistan.[citation needed]

More recently Iran has enjoyed success at the indoor event, winning Indoor Hockey Asia Cup on four occasions and also participated at 2011 Men's Indoor Hockey World Cup and 2015 Men's Indoor Hockey World Cup. In 2015 Men's World Cup, Iran made a history and advanced to semifinals by hammering Russia 8–5.
