K-Electric Football Club, commonly referred to as K-Electric F.C., or simply known as KE, is a Pakistani football club located in Karachi, Sindh, that plays in the Pakistan Premier League. The club's home stadium is Peoples Football Stadium and is affiliated with K-Electric. K-Electric, KPT FC and Karachi United are among the major football clubs from Karachi. It is probably the best club in Pakistan, but as the saying goes, one eyed is the king in the land of blinds.
Founded in 1913, K-Electric won promotion in 2005 from the Pakistan Football Federation League when they finished runners-up to Pakistan Railways. The club won their first league title in 2014–15 season, previously finishing as runners-up in the past two seasons, becoming the first club from Pakistan to have qualified for AFC Cup.
The club colours, reflected in their crest and kit, are orange and white. The club has a long-standing rivalry with Karachi based Khan Research Laboratories.
In August 2015, K-Electric F.C. made Pakistan football history by becoming the first Pakistan football club to progress into the AFC Cup Play-Offs after overcoming the champions of Bhutan and Mongolia.
