History
[edit]In 2004, Baloch FC Quetta became one of the founding members of the Pakistan Premier League after qualified via district tournaments.[1] The club was relegated at the end of the season after finishing 14th in the table.[1]
In the 2005–06 PFF National League, Baloch Quetta made its PFF debut against Pakistan Police which they lost.[2]
In the 2009–10 PFF League, Baloch Quetta qualified for the semi-finals. They defeated Muslim FC in the semi-final but lost to Young Blood in the final.[3]
In the 2013 PFF League, Baloch Quetta were promoted to the Pakistan Premier League for the first time.[4] They made their PPL debut in the 2014–15 Pakistan Premier League. However, they won no match and were relegated to the next PFF League.[5]
The next PFF League was held in 2020 where Baloch Quetta won the final and were promoted to the 2021 Pakistan Premier League, but later withdrew.
Stadium
[edit]Like several Pakistan domestic football teams, Baloch Quetta does not own a dedicated ground. Hence the team used several municipal venues in Quetta for its home fixtures.[6][7] The club usually have used the Sadiq Shaheed Stadium for its home fixtures for the Pakistan Premier League.[8]
Rivalries
[edit]Baloch FC Quetta and Muslim FC of Chaman contest the Quetta–Chaman rivalry, which is regarded as one of the most prominent fixtures in Balochistan football and is often framed as a contest for provincial supremacy.[9]
