AFL Pakistan was formed on April 1, 2006 by Tanzeem-E-Insidad-E-Manshyiate. Mumtaz Ali Khan was instrumental in setting up the initial competition and became the organisation's first President. In November 2006, Mumtaz Ali Khan opted to vacate the role of President and take on a more active role as Programme Development Officer, in the hope of further encouraging the sport's growth throughout Pakistan. Habib-ul-Haq, Vice President at the time, took up the role of President.
Currently AFL Pakistan has held one round-robin competition in Mingora with four clubs attending. Since then, two more clubs have been established, one in Peshawar and one at the University of Malakand. Plans have been established for mirror competitions elsewhere in Pakistan as well in neighbouring Afghanistan.
Aussie Rules was established in Pakistan in 2006. The governing body is the Australian Rules Football Federation of Pakistan. There are currently six football teams in Pakistan, all based in the Swat Valley around an educational institution. The Pakistani national side are known as the Dragoons.
There are six football teams in Pakistan at the moment, all located in Khyber Pukhtunkhwa, which include:
Tanzeem-e-Insidad-e-Manshyiate Swords
Swat Public School Eagles
Jehanzeb College Dolphins
Government High School #3 (GHS3) Bulls
