History

The club was founded in 1983. [1] Former Pakistan national football team goalkeeper Noman Ibrahim's father played a key role in establishing the club. Noman also later served as goalkeeping coach of the club. [1]

In the 2009–10 PFF League, the club was promoted to the Pakistan Premier League after finishing champions. [2] In 17 December 2010, the club struck twice in the last 19 minutes to edge out Baloch Quetta by 3–1 in the club phase final at Punjab University Ground. [3] The club also came close to winning the overall PFF League final but lost to Sui Southern Gas at home venue on 6 January 2010. It became the eleventh local club of Pakistan to appear in Pakistan Premier League in a tournament dominated by departmental teams during that time, with others being Afghan Chaman, Wohaib, Panther FC, PMC Club Athletico, Young Eleven, Naka Muhammadan, Mauripur Baloch, Baloch Quetta, Mardan FC and Baloch Nushki. [1] The feat resulted in nine players of the squad to make it to the different age Pakistan national teams. [1]
