The Pakistan Army FC are a Pakistani football club who play in the Pakistan Premier League. They have won the league under its current format twice, in 2005 and 2006/7. They won the National Championship in 1993/94 and 1995. They have also been Cup winners twice, in 2000 and 2001.[1] [2]

Since the turn of the millennium, Army have become one of the three dominant clubs in Pakistan. This has been aided by their good training facilities in comparison to other teams and their financial resources.

In the 2006/7 season, keeper Jaffar Khan set a new Pakistani record by remaining unbeaten for 1170 minutes.

The Pakistan Army represented Pakistan in the AFC President's Cup 2006, and again 2007 as last seasons national champions. In both instances, Army has showed a poor performances finishing bottom of their groups and failing to qualify for the next rounds of the tournaments.
