Club history

The club was originally known as Shahid Ghandi Yazd, but after one season in the IPL, the club finished last and was relegated. Their main sponsor, the "Yazd Cable Company" was facing financial problems and could not afford to sponsor the team any longer. At first it appeared as if the club would be forced to fold altoghether, but on July 20, 2006, a new set of sponsors came forward and the team was renamed Esteghlal Yazd. [cite web

Less than two weeks later though, Fathollahzadeh decided not to continue as club chairman and fulfill his promises. The local government in the province of Yazd quickly stepped into action and found a new financial sponsor for the team. "Yazd Behrouk Cement Co." agreed to help the team. Once again, the most famous football team in Yazd changed its name and was briefly known as Siman Behrouk Yazd FC. [cite web
