The National Club Championship was a third-tier football competition organised by the Pakistan Football Federation (PFF). It was introduced in 2006 at Lahore as the third-tier (C-Division) of the Pakistani football league system, below the Pakistan Premier League and the PFF League. Further editions after 2006 are not documented.

History

Following advice from FIFA and the Asian Football Confederation, the Pakistan Football Federation reorganised its league structure in 2004 by introducing two divisions: the Pakistan Premier League (A-Division) and the PFF League (B-Division). In 2006, the federation expanded the system into three tiers, launching the National Club Championship in Lahore. ^{[1] [2]}

The winners and leading teams from the competition advanced to the 2006 PFF League, providing a pathway into the national pyramid. ^[3]

The inaugural 2006 edition was won by Baloch FC Nushki. ^{[4] [5] [6]}

Format

The event was contested by leading local and regional clubs unaffiliated with government departments. Six teams took part in the inaugural edition, divided into two groups of three. Each team played the others in its group once, with the top two from each group advancing to the semi-finals. The winners of the semi-finals met in the final, while the losers contested a third-place playoff. The champions, runners-up, and third-placed earned promotion to the PFF League. ^[3]
