PAF F.C.

Early years (1947–1970s)

Pakistan Air Force football team was established in 1947, shortly after the Partition of British India, and the consequent partition of the British Indian military forces. Members serving in the Royal Indian Air Force both as employees and players, such as Moideen Kutty, immediately became part of the newly established Pakistan Air Force and their sport teams. In their early years, from 1947 till 1956, the football team was named as Royal Pakistan Air Force (RPAF). In the 1950s, Pakistan Air Force played the Inter-Services Football Championship at the domestic level in Pakistan. In August 1960, PAF won the fifth Ismail Gold Shield Football Tournament, which featured guest teams from India and Iran. In 1961, PAF played a friendly game against the Iranian club Shahin F.C., with PAF international forward Faqir Hussain scoring all 4 goals for his team in a match which ended in a 6–4 defeat.
