History edit
Huma was founded in 1970. In 2000, the club played a test match against the Pakistan national team, ending in a 0–2 defeat.[1][2] In 2007, it took part in the Islamabad Division Football League.[3] In the 2013 PFF League, Huma was drawn in group C.[4] It finished bottom of its group. In the 2014 PFF League, Huma ended up second in group A.
After six years, it made its return to the PFF League, in the 2020 edition. It defeated Jeay Laal, Lyallpur, Young Ittefaq, and Wohaib in its group.[5] The final match was between the top two teams, Huma and Baloch Quetta, where the winner would earn promotion to the 2021 Pakistan Premier League. Both teams were previously undefeated in the tournament. Huma was defeated in the final, and therefore, was not promoted.[6]
In 2020, Huma returned to the PFF National Challenge Cup, and also returned for the 2021–22 Pakistan Premier League.
