History

In 1997 the national Iranian copper industry decided to form a football club in one of its focus cities, Rafsanjan.[3] It would go on to form another football team in Kerman a year later, also named after the national copper industry.

Mes Rafsanjan knocked out a number of Persian Gulf Pro League clubs in the Hazfi Cup of 2008–09, including Foolad and Esteghlal. The club was later defeated by the eventual champions Zob Ahan in the semi-finals.

In 2020 Mes Refanjan were promoted to the Persian Gulf Pro League, where they have enjoyed moderate success.
