History
From 1948 till 2003, the team competed at the National Football Championship, the premier football competition of Pakistan from 1948 till 2003.[2] In the beginning, the team was under the Sind-Karachi Football Association, the governing body of football in Sindh and the Karachi Federal Capital Territory. In 1950, a separate Karachi Football Association body was formed.[3][4]
The team won two titles, including in the inaugural 1948 edition under the name of Sindh Reds, defeating the second string Sindh Blue.[2][5] It also competed with the name Sindh Red in 1975 and 1978.[2]
On 26 December 1983, the team played against visiting West Berlin University team from Germany, winning by 2–0, thanks to goals of Ghulam Sarwar and Ejaz.[6]
In 2010, the provincial teams including Sindh competed in the 2010 KPT-PFF Cup, a cup competition organised by the Pakistan Football Federation featuring provincial and departmental teams, similar to the previous National Championship.[7][8][9]
