The 2010 Super Football League was the second season of the country's franchise-based football league in collaboration between the Pakistan Football Federation and GEO Super. The 2010 season spanned from 11 June to 31 July.
Due to a lack of long-term support from Pakistan Football Federation, the second edition of the Super Football League was held in summer 2010 after a gap three years since its inception in 2007, when KESC stepped in to support the venture with another SFL season and merited a second attempt in 2010. KESC also ran the Karachi Energy team, which was renamed from Karachi Bazigar. All five teams were also asked to include six players under the age of 20 in their 22-player squads to promote youth football.
Players for each teams were selected through trials. Qayyum Sports Complex, Peshawar, hosted the trials for Tribes FC from May 18âÂÂ20 with Nasir Ismail, Gohar Zaman, Najeeb Ullah Najmi and Shakoor as the coaches. The selection process to form Quetta Zorawar was held at Yazdhan Khan High School, Quetta, from May 20âÂÂ22 under Akhtar Mohiuddin, Mohammad Dawood, Mohammad Karim and Azizullah. Islamabad FA hosted trials for the Islamabad United team at the PTCL Ground where Sajjad Mahmood, Shaukat Ali, Haji Abdul Sattar as coaches from May 21âÂÂ23. The Lahore Lajpaals team trials were held at the Punjab Stadium, Lahore, from May 24âÂÂ26 under the supervision of Shahzad Anwar, Mohammad Habib, Tanveer Ahmed and Asghar Khan Anjum. The fifth and final trials were held at Karachi's Peoples Sports Complex from May 27âÂÂ29 with Hassan Baloch, Zafar Iqbal, Saleem Patni and Zahid Taj as the coaches. The Pakistan Football Federation also made mandatory for all the captains of the teams to wrap captains band around their arm, in contrast to the previous season. Matches were also held under floodlights.
Karachi Energy won the title after defeating Quetta Zorawar in the final. The winners were awarded Rs 780,000 prize money. The runner-ups Quetta Zorawar earned a prize money of Rs 390,000. Top scorer Muhammad Rasool received Rs50,000 as prize money. Muhammad Riaz of Islamabad United was declared best player, Muhammad Omar of Karachi Energy was declared as best goalkeeper.
However, the league did not continue because the organisers and sponsors reportedly did not want to work with the Pakistan Football Federation again. The reason was largely because Geo Super conducted it purely for commercial reasons, while the Pakistan Football Federation failed to cash in on it for the long term betterment of football in the country.
All matches were played in the Peoples Football Stadium in Karachi. The SFL is divided into two rounds. The first round was a round-robin league format in which the 5 teams would play a total of 8 league matches each, twice against their opponents. After the commencement of the league round, the top 4 teams out of 5 were drawn for a knock-out stage round involving single-legged semi finals with the winners meeting in a final to determine the inaugural Super Football League champion of Pakistan.
