History

Mes Sarcheshmeh years

Azadegan League

Mes Sarcheshmeh was owned by Kerman's largest Copper producer "Sanate Mes Kerman", the same company that owned Mes Kerman. Mes Sarcheshmeh was founded in 1998 together with several other clubs by the Copper company of Kerman. In the past four years, the club has experienced enormous success as they have claimed promotion twice during this period.

After a third-place finish in the 2007–2008 season, they gained promotion the following year, finishing in first place. While being tipped as favourites for the drop, they beat the odds and finished in a respectable fifth spot. The following season proved to be their last, in the Azadegan League 1 as they won the league due to their better goal difference compared to runners up Aluminium Hormozgan. This meant that Mes Sarcheshme had been promoted to the Iranian Premier League for the first time.

Promotion to the Iran Pro League

Mes Sarcheshme was the second team owned by "Sanat Mes Kerman" to have reached the Premier League, the other team is Mes Kerman. Mes Sarcheshme could not make an impact in the IPL and were relegated. In July 2013, the club was moved from Kerman to Mashhad and renamed to Padideh Shandiz for two seasons.

Padideh Shandiz

When 2012–13 season ended, Mes Sarcheshmeh had given up from administrating a professional football club. They sold their football club to Padideh Shandiz as of July 2013. New owners moved the club to Mashhad and introduced Akbar Misaghian as club boss.[1] Padideh was promoted to the Persian Gulf Pro League in the following season, and were crowned champions of the Azadegan League, after beating Naft Masjed Soleyman 1–0 in the final. Before their first season in the Iran Pro League, Padideh made several big name signings, namely Reza Enayati and Milan Jovanović. Padideh made the semi–final of the 2014–15 Hazfi Cup but lost to Naft Tehran on penalties.

Stadium

They currently play at Samen Stadium. Padideh has its own 25,000 seat private stadium under construction. The stadium named Shahre Behesht Stadium is expected to be ready for the 2015–16 season.
