In recent years the football club had shown itself to be a contender, thanks to increased funding and support from the team board.

Their right to participate in the Persian Gulf Cup was given to a newly formed team called Pas Hamedan.

That same year Assadolahi with only one football and limited resources assembled a team including himself and officers from the local police academy in Tehran.

In that same year, they officially announced the establishment of the club and participated in the Championship Games of the Armed Forces.

Pas won the football league championship of Tehran Clubs ahead of Daraii and Shahin in 1966.

The Tehran League at the time had 12 teams including the likes of Pas, Shahin, Daraii, Taj, Kian, Tehran-Javan, and Ararat.

At the time of the club's establishment, the stadium complex in Ekbatan (a neighbourhood in Tehran), belonged to the Charity Department.

Captain Sadeghi accepted the conditions and rented the field for a ninety-nine-year period at a price of 20,000 toman.

Their team could have possibly won a third consecutive championship, but the league was cancelled and eventually folded with the arrival of the Iranian revolution.

After the war the Azadegan League was established and Pas came back onto the Iranian football scene in a big way.

What made the feat even more amazing was that most of Pas' players were paid amateur level salaries, they stayed at a very poor hotel, and arrived very late to Bahrain.

The chances of the team doing well in the tournament was considered so small that the Iranian Football Federation didn't even bother to send a representative.

This experiment failed as Jalali was fired 1 December 2006 due to Pas' poor results 11 games into the season.

Their right to participate in the Persian Gulf Cup was given to a newly formed team called Pas Hamedan.
