The club was founded in 1957 as Afghan Agency Chaman. On 27 June 1965 they won the "All Pakistan Tournament" in Sibi which became their first ever tournament victory in Pakistan. In 1967 they competed in "All Pakistan General Musa tournament" held at Quetta. In 1999 they competed in All-Pakistan Prime Minister's Peace Cup, where they were placed in group F with WAPDA and Khan Research Laboratories, they lost both their matches by the similar 1–0 score line, knocking them out of the tournament.[1]
In 2000, Afghan FC Chaman played in an invitation tour at Kandahar Stadium against a local team from Kandahar. During the third and final game of the tour, Taliban religious police burst into the ground and stopped the game in the middle. The Taliban arrested twelve of the Afghan Chaman's players and had their heads shaved as punishment for wearing shorts.[3]
In 2002, they changed their name to current name and competed in All-Pakistan Defense of the Pakistan Unity Solidarity Football Tournament, finishing second in the group behind Karachi Port Trust, although they were replaced by Crescent Textiles Mills.[4]
