History

The Afghanistan Champions League was established to replace the Afghan Premier League. The league consisted of 12 clubs from Kabul, Herat and Balkh. In 2023, the league was not held due to financial crisis. In January 2024, the Afghanistan Football Federation announced the return of the league. In 2024, Attack Energy SC won their second consecutive title after finishing the season unbeaten. Abu Muslim won their first ever Afghan league title in the 2024–25 season, also finishing undefeated. However, Abu Muslim's match against Adalat Farah, ending in a controversial 8–0 victory, was marred by the allegations of match-fixing.
