POPO Football Club is a Pakistani professional football club based in Islamabad, Pakistan.
The club has U-13 and U-19 youth teams.
History
The club was founded in 2012 by a lecturer at Islamic University’s business programme Haris Haroon. The club was named after his nickname given to him by his students during his tutoring days. Initially the team took part in various local tournaments in Islamabad, but later on settled up an academy for young players.
The club produced a number of players for both the Pakistan U-19 and U-16 teams, for the 2020 AFC U-19 Championship qualification and the 2020 AFC U-16 Championship qualification respectively in 2019. The club subsequently hired Pakistan’s first AFC Pro License holding coach Shahzad Anwar.
POPO made his professional debut in the 2020 PFF National Challenge Cup. The club impressed as a youth club, winning by 2-1 against Saif Tex in their first match. The club exited the tournament finishing third in the group stage.
In 2022, the club developed a partnership with Futebol Clube SKA Brasil, where two of the players from the squad, Waleed Khan and Mohammad Rizwan joined the under 20 side of the Brazilian club on a temporary basis along with the coach Shahzad Anwar.
POPO FC on Pakistani jalgpalliklubi, mis asutati 2021. aastal ja tegutseb Karachis. Nad mängivad Pakistani Premier League'is, mis on riigi kõrgeim jalgpalliliiga.
Klubi nime on inspireerinud POPO, mille tähendus on urdu keeles "meistrivõistlus". Meeskonna eesmärk on saada üheks Pakistan jalgpalli tipptiimist ja saavutada edu nii riiklikul kui ka rahvusvahelisel tasandil.
POPO FC kodustaadion on Karachi rahvustaadion, mis mahutab 35 000 pealtvaatajat. Meeskonna värvid on sinine ja valge, mis sümboliseerivad Pakistani lipu värve.
Meeskonna peaesineja ja omanik on tuntud pakistanlasest ärinaine Reham Khan. Tema visiooni kohaselt on POPO FC rohkem kui lihtsalt jalgpalliklubi. See on platvorm, et edendada sporti, tuua kokku kogukonda ja inspireerida noori pakistanlasi oma unistusi järgima.
POPO FC on suhteliselt noor klubi, kuid neil on juba olnud mõningaid varajasi edusamme. Nad võitsid 2022. aasta PFF Super Cup'i ja said 2023. aasta Pakistani Premier League'is üheksandaks.
Meeskonna juhtkonnas on endine Pakistani jalgpallikoondise peatreener José Antonio Nogueira. Tema juhendamisel loodab POPO FC jätkata oma arengut ja saada üheks Pakistan jalgpalli jõutraditsioonideks.
