Departmental clubs

[edit]
Further information: Category:Works association football clubs in Pakistan

In its early years, football in Pakistan was mainly dominated by departmental and armed forces teams, which hired footballers as employees and provided them with a basic wage to play for their sides and work full time in the off-season.[3][4][5][6][7] Majority of the departmental clubs were disbanded following the shutdown of departmental sports in Pakistan in September 2021.[8][9][10][11] Departmental sports in Pakistan were restored in August 2022.[12][13][14] Since 2023, departmental clubs became restricted to the PFF National Challenge Cup.[15][16] For a complete list of departmental clubs, see Category:Works association football clubs in Pakistan and PFF National Challenge Cup.
