Shahid Ghandi Yazd Football Club is an Iranian football team based in Yazd, Iran.

They entered to the Iran Pro League only one season in 2005–06. Now this team is playing in League 2 (Iran), the second division of Iran's football pyramid.

Club history

The club was originally known as Shahid Ghandi Yazd, but after one season in the IPL, the club finished last and was relegated. Their main sponsor, the Yazd Cable Company was facing financial problems and could not afford to sponsor the team any longer. At first it appeared as if the club would be forced to fold altogether, but on July 20, 2006, a new set of sponsors came forward and the team was renamed Esteghlal Yazd.[1] The team was supposed to solve its financial problems using their connections with Esteghlal FC. Less than two weeks later though, Fathollahzadeh decided not to continue as club chairman and fulfill his promises. The local government in the province of Yazd found a new financial sponsor for the team. Yazd Behrouk Cement Co. agreed to help the team. Once again, the football team changed its name and was briefly known as Siman Behrouk Yazd FC.[2] That same month, the club lost its sponsors again, and had to find another financial backer. The club was able to do so, and changed its name to Talieh Yazd.[3] In a move which continued to show the poor state of football in Yazd, the team changed its name for a fourth time. The team is now sponsored by the provinces Physical Education Organization and will be called Tarbiat Badani Yazd.[4] They stayed in the Azadegan League. They finished fifth in their group in 2008–2009 season. In June 2012, the club sold its license to Sang Ahan Bafg, and dissolved due financial circumstances.

Refounded

In the summer of 2014 the club was refounded as Tarbiat Yazd Novin and entered the 2014–15 Azadegan League season.
