The club has never had spectacular results, but has always provided talented players for Iranian football.

The last time the club played in the top level of Iranian football was the 1995–96 season of the Azadegan League (current IPL).

Due to the poor decisions of the club management, Ararat FC has spent most of the past few years playing in the 1st Division and 2nd Division of Iran's football leagues.

Until recently the club had a policy of only employing Armenian staff and players, but with the team's poor form in the past few years, this decision has been overturned and non-Armenians have coached the team.

The club was placed in the Tehran Provincial League Division 1 and lost their first match 2–1.
