The Afghanistan Champions League is a professional men's football league run by the Afghanistan Football Federation (AFF). The competition commenced in 2021. [1]
The Afghanistan Champions League was established to replace the Afghan Premier League. [2] [1] The league consisted of 12 clubs from Kabul, Herat and Balkh. [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] In 2023, the league was not held due to financial crisis. [11] [12] In January 2024, the Afghanistan Football Federation announced the return of the league. [13] [14] [15] In 2024, Attack Energy SC won their second consecutive title after finishing the season unbeaten. [16] [17] [18] Abu Muslim won their first ever Afghan league title in the 2024–25 season, also finishing undefeated. [19] However, Abu Muslim's match against Adalat Farah, ending in a controversial 8–0 victory, was marred by the allegations of match-fixing. [20] [21]
