The Pakistan football champions are the winners of the highest league in Pakistani football, which is currently the Pakistan Premier League.
Pakistan’s first football tournament began on May 28, 1948 as the National Football Championship, a knock-out competition, which remained as the top football competition in the country until 2004 with the introduction of the Pakistan Premier League. In 1979, a domestic cup was added to Pakistani football, known as the Pakistan National Football Challenge Cup.[1]
The 1948–49 Pakistan National Football League was the first season of the NFL and ended with Sindh Red being crowned champions. The National Football League era though saw Karachi based Pakistan Airlines with most championships, winning the competition nine times. The Pakistan Premier League era is different though as most of the champions of the league have come from Punjab side with Khan Research Laboratories from Rawalpindi winning the league five times.[2]
Currently, the team with the most championships in Pakistan Premier League is Khan Research Laboratories, who have won five championships in the league. However, Pakistan Airlines are the team with the most championships overall, winning National Football League nine times.[3]
