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][3] The club was relegated at the end of the season, finishing 14th in the table.[2]

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 Almo Mohammedan.[4]
