Pakistan International Airlines FC
Pakistan International Airlines Football Club, abbreviated as PIA FC, served as the football section of Pakistan International Airlines. Based in Karachi, Sindh, the club used to compete in the National Football Championship and Pakistan Premier League.
The club is the most successful club in Pakistan in terms of league titles, winning nine National Football Championship titles, with their first league title in 1971 and their last title win in the 1998–99 season.
The Pakistan International Airlines football team was established shortly after the formation of PIA Sports Board in 1958, to represent Pakistan International Airlines in football competitions. In September 1960, they participated in the Aga Khan Gold Cup in Dhaka.
In 1970, the team again participated in the Aga Khan Gold Cup. From the 1970s until the 1990s, the club dominated the National Football Championship. Their first National Football Championship title came in 1971 when they defeated Karachi in the finals. The club successfully defended their title in 1972 when they held off Peshawar White.
Their third title came in the first of the two 1975 seasons, defeating provincial side Punjab A. In July 1975, the Chinese Hopei provincial team visited Pakistan playing several matches across the country. PIA drew the match against the visitors in Rawalpindi.
In 1976 they retained their title, holding off a challenge from Pakistan Railways. At the end of the year, an 18-member PIA team captained by Abdul Jabbar, toured Abu Dhabi for seven days from 16 December 1976 and played two exhibition matches there.
Pakistan Airlines were defending champions in 1978, after there being no football 1977 due to martial law, but they continued to dominate Pakistani football and beat Sindh Red to take the championship for a fifth time. The PIA team left for Dacca, Bangladesh on 6 December 1977 to play in the Aga Khan Gold Cup. In the domestic field, the team also participated at the Habib Bank Gold Cup tournament at Karachi in February 1978. The finals were played between KMC and PIA at the KMC Stadium on 10 February 1978. PIA fell to KMC in the final by two goals to nil. On 9 March 1978, the team played against the Berlin University football team from Germany at the KMC Stadium. The Germans ultimately won the match by three goals to one.
PIA defeated Karachi Port Trust by 2–1 in the All-Pakistan KMC Silver Shield final on 20 November 1979 at KMC Stadium, Karachi. KPT took the lead in the 13th minute when center-forward Ayub capitalized on a defensive error by PIA goalkeeper Dawood Durrani. PIA equalized three minutes later through inside-right Abdul Wahid Sr., who scored after a quick pass from inside-left Muhammad Idrees. PIA then took the lead in the 20th minute when Tariq headed in a lob from Abdul Wahid Sr.
