Basij Moghavemat Shahid Sepasi Fars Football Club (PerB|باشگاه فوتبال بسیج مقاومت شهید سپاسی فارس) is an Iranian football club based in Shiraz, Iran.

The club is one the more financially restricted teams in Iran's football, and is owned by Iran's Basij. Prior to the club's affiliation with the Basij many young players who had yet to serve in the military (2 year military service is mandatory in Iran) choose to play for Fajr Sepasi, because of the close relationship between the team and the Iranian military.

The club consists of mostly young players, and does not have a very large following in Shiraz, Bargh, Fajr's rival has a much stronger fan base in the city.

History

Establishment

In 1988, a group of youngsters, who were from Shiraz along with Jafar Jafari, established a football team named "Behzad". They started play in the 2nd division of Shiraz's local city league. When Majid Sepasi, was killed in the Iran–Iraq War, the team renamed it self Fajr Shahid Sepasi, to honor him.By 1991 the club had been bought by Sepah Pasdaran. In 1995 they became champions of Fars province, and in 1996 were promoted to the Azadegan League. The club has remained in the highest level of Iranian football since then, and surprised everyone when they won the Hazfi Cup in 2001.

Takeover

In December 2006 Sepah Pasdaran sold its shares in sport to Basij, therefore all Fajr teams were renamed to "Moghavemat" teams. Fajr Sepasi are now officially known as "Moghavemat Shahid Sepasi Shiraz", although the name is not in common use yet. [cite web|url=http://www.irna.ir/fa/news/view/line-14/8509290196160853.htm
