They currently compete in the [[Persian Gulf Pro League]]. Nassaji has one of the highest average attendances in Iran. Nassaji is also the oldest club from the [[Caspian region]] of Iran and among one of the oldest in all of Iran. Nassaji was promoted to the [[Persian Gulf Pro League]] for the first time in 2018, making them the only team from the province of [[Mazandaran]] to ever play in the league. ==History== ===Establishment=== Nassaji Mazandaran Company established the club in [[Qaem Shahr]] in 1959. Nassaji entered the Qods Cup in 1988 and soon after they entered the top division [[Azadegan League]] in 1991 and remained a strong competitor in that division until 1995. ===Recent years=== Nassaji stayed in 2nd division until 2001 and when Iranian Football Federation decided to start a professional league, the Azadegan league became the second highest league in Iran. In 2004 Nassaji was relegated to [[Iran Football's 2nd Division|2nd Division]] but they were promoted back to the Azadegan League at the end of the 2005–06 season. On 3 August 2006 [[Nasser Hejazi]] signed as head-coach of Nassaji on a one-year deal for the [[Azadegan League 2006/07|2006–07]] season. In the 2013–14 season, Nassaji had their closest call with promotion to the [[Persian Gulf Pro League]] since their relegation from the top flight in 1995, the team finished third in Group A which was one place out of a promotion play-off spot. The following season Nassaji again finished third and was two points out of a promotion play-off spot. ===Persian Gulf Pro League=== On 29 April 2018, after a 6–0 win against [[Rah Ahan]], Nassaji finished in second place in the Azadegan League and were promoted to the [[Persian Gulf Pro League]] for the first time. ==Facilities== Since the club was created, Nassaji has trained and played its home games at [[Vatani Stadium]], which was built in the 1940s by the Russians. After the [[Islamic Revolution]] of 1979, the stadium was expanded to hold 15,000 people. ==Supporters== *[[Behdad Salimi]]<ref>{{cite
