# Campionato iraniano di calcio

Il campionato iraniano di calcio (in persiano ساختار لیگ فوتبال ایران‎) è un insieme di tornei istituiti dalla Federazione calcistica dell'Iran (IRIFF).
Ha come prima divisione la Lega professionistica del Golfo persico.

## Storia

Il calcio fu importato in Persia, l'attuale Iran, agli inizi del XX secolo. Dal 1960 si iniziarono a disputare a Teheran dei tornei, il primo dei quali venne vinto dallo Shahin. Nel 1970, con il nome di Lega regionale, si disputò il primo torneo nazionale, vinto dal Taj.
Il torneo, che dal 1973 aveva preso il nome di Coppa del Trono di Jamshid, venne interrotto nel 1978 a causa della rivoluzione iraniana e non venne disputato sino al 1989. In questo periodo si tennero solo alcuni tornei a carattere regionale. Dal 1990 si iniziò a disputare la Lega Azadegan, divenuta nel 2001 Lega professionistica d'Iran e nel 2006 Lega professionistica del Golfo persico. Oggi la dizione Lega Azadegan è utilizzata per designare la seconda divisione.
