Football Club Abu Muslim (Persian: باشگاه فوتبال ابومسلم خراسان, Bashgah-e Futbal-e Abumislâm-e Xorasan), commonly known as Abu Muslim, is an Iranian football club based in Mashhad, Razavi Khorasan, that competes in the League 3. The club was founded in 1970 and is named after Abbasid-era Persian general Abu Muslim, who led the Abbasid Revolution that toppled the Umayyad dynasty.[1][2]
The football team plays its home games at the Samen Stadium which has a seating capacity of 27,000.[3] The club is owned and supported by Mohammad Reza Abbasi.[4]
Abu Muslim won four League 2 trophies, three Khorasan League titles, and one final participation in the Hazfi Cup. Abu Muslim holds a long-standing enmity with provincial rivals Payam Khorasan known as the Mashhad derby.
Abū Muslim al-Khurāsānī was a famous Persian dāʿī (missionary) and commander (ca. 100–137/ca. 718–754).
