Shahrdari Tabriz also has futsal, basketball, road cycling, and volleyball teams.The football team plays in the Azadegan League. They were promoted to the Iran Pro League after their performance in the 2012–13 season, but their promotion was revoked due to their involvement in a match-fixing scandal, and they were relegated one division to League 2. Shahrdari stopped all their professional teams in order not to accept the FFIRI's penalty. The team's license was moved to Pashazadeh Company.
In 1986 Tabriz Municipality decided to create a new football team by the name of Shahrdari Tabriz football club. They played their first official match in 1986. Shahrdari Tabriz won promotion to the Persian Gulf Cup after a 2–0 win at Mashhad and Sanat Naft's 2–1 loss at Isfahan against Sepahan Novin on June 11, 2010, ending an 11 year absence from the top division and finishing as champions in the Azadegan League.
Shahrdari was relegated at the end of the 2011–12 season. They won promotion back to the Persian Gulf Cup the following year but were relegated to the 2nd Division because of a match-fixing scandal. Shahrdari finished 2nd in the 2013–14 season and were promoted to the Azadegan League for the 2014–15 season. In the 2014–15 season, Shahrdari only escaped relegation after defeating Esteghlal Ahvaz in the relegation play-off.
