The Super Football League, simply known as the SFL, was the first professional franchise club football league of Pakistan, organised by Geo Super in collaboration with the Pakistan Football Federation.
Five franchises participated in both editions in 2007 and 2010, and all matches were played in Karachi's Peoples Football Stadium. The SFL ran separate to the Pakistan Premier League.
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 on GEO Super. Geo Super reportedly signed a contract with the PFF for a period of seven years. It ran based on franchise model over a span of two months, and was one of the few televised domestic championship held in the country since its inception.
It was regarded as a parallel new professional top flight league, and for the first time the teams would be city-based and non departmental, in contrast to the Pakistan Premier League, representing Pakistan's five major cities. Players were selected after trials. The league attracted record crowds at the Peoples Football Stadium in Karachi.
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, 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.
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.
The league was made up of five franchise teams, representatives of different major cities of Pakistan. Each team was composed of national and international players. The names of the teams were the following:
