Early years (1970s) The Habib Bank Limited football team was founded by
Habib Bank Limited, one of Pakistan's largest banks, in 1975 when the bank created a formal sports setup and began fielding departmental teams in national sports competitions including football.
Rise and national titles (1980s) In the 1982
National Football Championship, the team won its first national title after defeating
Pakistan Railways in the final. The next year, the team finished runner-ups after falling against
WAPDA in the final. At the Asian top tier, with former Pakistan international
Moosa Ghazi as coach, the team was drawn in Group 4 held in
Colombo as venue. The team recorded a 0–7 loss against
Malavan (Iran), 1–2 loss against
Saunders (Sri Lanka), and drew 2–2 against
Victory (Maldives). This was the second continental appearance for a Pakistani club side. After the finalisation of the
1986 Quaid-e-Azam International Tournament, Habib Bank was also chosen to play two exhibition matches against
China in 4 May and against
Sri Lanka in 5 May at the
Ibn-e-Qasim Bagh Stadium in
Multan. The team drew by 1–1 in their match against Sri Lanka.
Perennial contenders (1990s–2000) Habib Bank remained competitive through frequent restructures of the National Football Championship, finishing runners-up in
1991 and again runners-up in 2000. They were relegated in the
2006–07 season, but were elected to return, alongside
Pakistan Airlines, following expansion of the Pakistan Premier League to 14 clubs.
Disbandment The team was disbanded by the parental organisation in December 2015. == Stadium ==
