Baloch FC Nushki is a Pakistani professional football club based in the city of Nushki, Balochistan. It currently competes in the PFF League, the second tier of men's league football in the country, after getting relegated in the 2018–19 season of the top-tier Pakistan Premier League.

History

[edit]

Early years and promotion to second-tier (2004–2006)

[edit]

Founded in 2004, Baloch Nushki played in the inaugural third-tier 2006 Pakistan National Club Championship, and won the tournament in the final by penalties after a 1–1 draw against Punjab Medical College.[1] They were promoted to the second-tier 2006 PFF National League.[2][3][4]

PFF League (2006–2009)

[edit]

In the 2006 and the 2007–08 PFF League of the national second-tier, the club failed to advance past the group stage.

In the 2008–09 PFF League, they won 1–0 against PAF F.C. in the final of the club leg, gaining promotion to then 14-club Pakistan Premier League for the first time.[5]

Entry to top-tier (2009–2014)

[edit]

In their first season in the top-tier league, they finished last in the table, but their relegation along with PMC Athletico Faisalabad was revoked as the next season was extended to 16 teams.[6] The club was rated among the worst teams in the world, after finishing in the bottom of the league with two wins, two draws and 22 defeats from their 26 games.[7] Later on the club emerged strongly, being few of the football clubs that gave competition to well-established departmental sides which dominated the Pakistan football domestic structure in the early years.[8]

Yo-yo years (2014–present)

[edit]

In the 2013–14 Pakistan Premier League, they were relegated after finishing 15 in the table.[9] In the second-tier 2014 PFF League, they lost to Pakistan Navy in the final. They were again promoted to the Pakistan Premier League as runner-ups.

The team returned for the 2018–19 Pakistan Premier League season after years of Pakistan Football Federation turmoil and football inactivity, however the team was relegated again from the top tier after finishing 13th in the table.[10]

In 2023, Baloch Nushki was shortlisted by the Pakistan Football Federation to compete in a three-team playoff, alongside Afghan Chaman and Muslim FC, for Pakistan's sole entry in the inaugural SAFF Club Championship expected to launch in 2024.[11][12][13][14] Eventually, with no club meeting the financial and requirements in time, Pakistan forfeited its slot and the tournament also didn't launch.[15][16]
