History

The club was founded as University Football Club. After advancing to the second round of the 2010 PFF League club phase, the team finished third in the table behind Muslim FC and Wohaib.[1]

The club changed their name to Lyallpur FC before the start of the 2013–14 Pakistan Premier League after getting promoted from the 2012 PFF League.[2] The club was relegated at the end of the season, finishing 14th in the table.[2][3][4][5]

In the 2014–15 Pakistan Football Federation League, the club finished as leader in the group A of the club phase ahead of Huma and Mardan Blue Star, however they ended as last in the final club stage behind Baloch Nushki and Al Mohammaden.[6]

Lyallpur was included in the 2021–22 Pakistan Premier League replacing other teams which eventually not participated.[7] The league was suspended after a few month into the season and then cancelled.
