History

From 1948 till 2003, the team competed at the National Football Championship, the premier football competition of Pakistan from 1948 till 2003.[2] In the beginning, the team was under the Sind-Karachi Football Association, the governing body of football in Sindh and the Karachi Federal Capital Territory. In 1950, a separate Karachi Football Association body was formed.[3][4]

The team won two titles, including in the inaugural 1948 edition under the name of Sindh Reds, defeating the second string Sindh Blue.[2][5] It also competed with the name Sindh Red in 1975 and 1978.[2]

In 2010, the provincial teams including Sindh competed in the 2010 KPT-PFF Cup, a cup competition organised by the Pakistan Football Federation featuring provincial and departmental teams, similar to the previous National Championship.[6][7][8]
