Saba Battery FC (Template:PerB) is a football team based in Iran's top football league, the IPL.
Saba Battery is owned by Saba Battery Co, and is located in Robat Karim, although they are registered as a team from Tehran. They are one of the wealthier teams in the league, and have good facilities and management compared to other IPL teams. Saba Battery, the sponsor of the team also sponsors a very successful basketball team in the Iranian national basketball league.
Club history
In 1974 a football team named Mohemat Sazi was established in Tehran. The team never had any major success and only played in the lower leagues of Iran's club football. They came close to making it to Tehran's top football league in the eighties. In the early nineties the club was sponsored by a company named Maham. During the later stages of the club's history they were sponsored by Sanam, an electronics company. In 2002, the club's shares were sold to Saba Battery Co. (also known as Niru Co.) which is under the control of Iran's Ministry of Defense. Due to the club's greatly improved financial status, the team was able to purchase talented players and was promoted to the IPL after only two years.
The team debuted in the IPL in the 2004-2005 season. The football team was able to secure a berth for the ACL after winning the 2005 Hazfi Cup, but did not get past the group stage.
