History

In 2004, Baloch FC Quetta became one of the founding members of the Pakistan Premier League after qualified via district tournaments.[1] The club was relegated at the end of the season after finishing 14th in the table.[1]

In the 2005–06 PFF National League, Baloch Quetta made its PFF debut against Pakistan Police which they lost.[2]

In the 2009–10 PFF League, Baloch Quetta qualified for the semi-finals. They defeated Muslim FC in the semi-final but lost to Young Blood in the final.[3]

In the 2013 PFF League, Baloch Quetta were promoted to the Pakistan Premier League for the first time.[4] They made their PPL debut in the 2014–15 Pakistan Premier League. However, they won no match and were relegated to the next PFF League.[5]

The next PFF League was held in 2020 where Baloch Quetta won the final and were promoted to the 2021 Pakistan Premier League, but later withdrew.

Stadium

Like several Pakistan domestic football teams, Baloch Quetta does not own a dedicated ground. Hence the team used several municipal venues in Quetta for its home fixtures.[6][7] The club usually have used the Sadiq Shaheed Stadium for its home fixtures for the Pakistan Premier League.[8]

Rivalries

Baloch FC Quetta and Muslim FC of Chaman contest the Quetta–Chaman rivalry, which is regarded as one of the most prominent fixtures in Balochistan football and is often framed as a contest for provincial supremacy.[9]
