'''Rah Ahan Sorinet Football Club''' ({{lang-fa|باشگاه فوتبال راه‌آهن سورینت}}) is an [[Iran]]ian [[Football (soccer)|football]] club based in [[Tehran]]. They currently play in the [[Persian Gulf Pro League]]. The team are also known as ''Sorinet'' since 1 June 2013 due to sponsorship contracts.

==History==

===Establishment===
Rah Ahan was formed in 1937 in [[Tehran]] by [[Islamic Republic of Iran Railways|Iran Railways]] but they have since been bought by [[Qeshm Air]] and most recently the [[Sorinet Group]] who currently runs the club. They are one of the oldest Iranian football clubs still in existence. In 1939 Rah Ahan participated in the Tehran Local League for the first time. Their first official match was on 4 January 1940 against Bazargani F.C., they won the game 11–0.

===1950s===
During the [[World War]] in the 1940s Rah Ahan dissolved its football operations, it was not until the 1950s when Rah Ahan restarted its football team. After its re-establishment the club under the name of ''Pirouz'' played on the dirt pitches near the railway station. The players of the team composed of the Railway workers. In 1955 with the arrival of Rasoul Madadnavi from [[Tabriz]], the club was again renamed to ''Rah Ahan'' and began to attract players from outside the railway company. After achieving good results in the 1958 season Rah Ahan was promoted to the 1st Division Tehran League, but due to new restrictions regarding private clubs in the Tehran Local Leagues, the club was denied the right to compete and eventually ceased its operations.

===Pre Revolution===
[[File:Bbvv.jpg|thumb|rahahan fc 1973|210px|left|thumb|Rah Ahan side during 1973–74 season]]
In 1963 Rah Ahan was again re-established and were placed in the 2nd Division Tehran Local League, in 1966 Rah Ahan was finally promote to the top division of the Tehran Local Leagues. In 1973 the [[Takht Jamshid Cup]], Iran's first national league, was founded. In their first two years in the Cup, Rah Ahan finished a respectable 7th and 9th. In 1976 they were relegated to the [[Iran Football's 2nd Division|2nd Division]]. In their only season in the 2nd Division, Rah Ahan finished 1st in the league and were again promoted to the [[Takht Jamshid Cup]]. In 1978 they were again relegated to the 2nd Division, but they could not finish the 2nd Division season because of the [[Iranian Revolution]].

===Iran Pro League===
After the establishment of the [[Iran Pro League]] in 2001, Rah Ahan was placed in the second tier [[Azadegan League]]. In 2005 Rah Ahan was promoted to the [[Iran Pro League]] after a second place finish in the [[Azadegan League]]. Since then they have mostly been an average team where they have finish in the mid table but since the arrival of [[Mohammad Hassan Ansarifard|Ansarifard]] as the chairman they have looked more stable. They finished 11th in the 2008–09 season and avoided the relegation in the season after on the last week.

In 2012–13 season and under [[Ali Daei]], and with him at charge the team got out to an early start, and were 4th in the [[Iran Pro League]] after the opening few weeks, after that the team had an average year, dropping to 8th by seasons end. In the same year they went on tour in Turkey, beating [[Galatasaray]] 4–1, and losing to [[Super Lig]] side [[Istanbul BB]] 3–2. At the end of the 2012–13 season [[Ali Daei]] left Rah Ahan to sign with [[Persepolis F.C.|Persepolis]].

[[Mansour Ebrahimzadeh]] was announced as Rah Ahan's new manager for the 2013–14 season, with him at charge Rah Ahan finished an average 11th place. At the end of the season, Ebrahimzadeh announced that he is stepping down as Rah Ahan's manager. Former Persepolis manager [[Hamid Estili]] was named as his replacement.
