History

The first season of a national Iranian volleyball league was held in 1975 with 12 teams competing. In 1979 due to the Iranian Revolution the league was canceled.

In 1989, the first Hazfi Cup for Iranian volleyball teams was held. During this period there was no national league and teams competed in the provincial and local leagues instead.

Shortly after the Hazfi Cup, in 1990 the national volleyball league of Iran was restarted by the Iranian Volleyball Federation with 10 teams competing and was called the Fajr Cup. In 2010 the format of the league was changed and 12 teams competed in the league, which was later increased to 14 shortly after and the name was also changed to the Iranian Volleyball Super League or the Iranian Volleyball Premier League.

The Iran Super League is the premier professional volleyball competition in Iran, showcasing the nation's top volleyball talent and fostering intense rivalries among the country's leading clubs. Established as the highest level of domestic volleyball, the league features a competitive format with multiple teams vying for the championship title each season. Known for its passionate fan base and high-quality gameplay, the Iran Super League serves as a vital platform for players to demonstrate their skills and potentially earn opportunities to compete internationally.
