Due to the club's greatly improved financial status the team was able to purchase talented players and were promoted to the Iran Pro League in 2004.

In the 2005 season Saba Battery also won the Iranian Super Cup, defeating Foolad the Iran Pro League champion 4–0.

In 2008 Saba relocated to Qom because the city of Tehran had many football teams with low attendance figures.

In the 2011–12 Persian Gulf Cup, Saba Qom finished 4th securing a play-off spot for the 2013 AFC Champions League.

In the play-off Saba lost to Al Shabab on penalties and failed to qualify to the group stage.

In July 2015 Saba announced that Ali Daei would lead the club for the 2015–16 Persian Gulf Pro League season.
