Football League History:
Geo TV Network and the Pakistan football federation came together
in 2006 and began work on establishing Pakistan’s first
national inter-city football league to be televised and broadcast
live on Geo Super.
The Geo Super Football League (SFL) was created as a way to
fuse Pakistan's football talent, with experienced internationals
playing with youth, and to develop football in Pakistan.
It would be a new top flight league, and the first time the
teams will be professional and non departmental. Instead, they
represent Pakistan's major cities. Aspiring stars were selected
after a grueling nation-wide hunt of all aspiring football players,
and will make up half of the team.
Thousands of youngsters and experienced players turned out at
trials in Lahore, Karachi, Islamabad, Peshawar and Quetta, which
took place between 17 to 25 June.
Given the level of interest, the selection committee, which
consists of members of the PFF and Geo TV Network, had their
work cut out for them. Over a 100 matches were held in all the
locations in varying degrees of heat and weather conditions.
Each player was given an ample chance to prove themselves through
these matches, which revealed their ability to perform in real-time,
tense situations.
Each player was individually discussed during the matches and
in serious post-match analysis of every match that was played,
before final selections took place.
The current champions are "Islamabad United" winning
4-3 on penalties in the final against Karachi Bazigar
Also the finals of the season 2007 ended in penalties
