Persepolis W.F.C.

Persepolis W.F.C. is an Iranian professional women's football club based in Tehran, Iran. It is the women's football section of Persepolis F.C. and competes in the Kowsar Women Football League, playing home games at the Shahid Kazemi Stadium.

Persepolis women's team was originally founded in the early 1970s as part of the multisport Persepolis Athletic and Cultural Club, contributing to the early development of women's football in Iran alongside teams like Taj and Deyham. However, following the 1979 Iranian Revolution, the women's section was disbanded due to government policies restricting women's sports activities. The team was re-established in 2024, marking a historic return to women's football after over four decades of inactivity. In its reformed era, Persepolis Women achieved rapid success.

Persepolis Women share the legacy and fanbase of the men's Persepolis F.C., one of Iran's most successful clubs, and draw from a vast supporter network known as the "Red Army," which has enthusiastically embraced the women's team through social media and match attendance. Persepolis Women play their home matches at Shahid Kazemi Stadium, with a capacity of 15,000, after initially using Marghoobkar Stadium and Derafshifar Stadium for early fixtures. Their iconic red kits and logo, inspired by ancient Persian symbols from the Achaemenid Empire's capital Persepolis, symbolize strength and heritage, earning nicknames like the Red Lionesses or Tehran Lionesses.
