Lt. Col. (R) Mohammad Nauman Khan (Urdu, Pashto: محمد نعمان خان; born 4 February 1968) is a Pakistani former footballer who played as a forward. A former captain of the national team, Nauman was the author of the last goal in the final against Maldives, which saw Pakistan retain their second title in the 1991 South Asian Games. He also captained Pakistan Army, winning the National Football Championship title in 1993 and 1995. He also served as a Lieutenant Colonel in the Pakistan Army.

Early life

[edit]

Nauman was born on 4 February 1968, in the Malakand Agency in Pakistan. He hailed from the Dheri Alladand village. He started playing at a young age in school, and later in a local club called Shaheen Football Club around 1984. After finishing matric, he joined Islamia College University in Peshawar where he joined the college football club.[citation needed]

Club career

[edit]

After 6 months in the Islamia College University, Nauman joined the Pakistan Army, and was picked by the Pakistan Army football team in 1989.[1]

Nauman was team captain when Pakistan Army clinched the National Football Championship title in 1993 and 1995.[2] He was also borrowed by Wohaib FC to take part in the 1992–93 Asian Club Championship.[3]

International career

[edit]

He made his international debut in the 1991 South Asian Games in Colombo under the captainship of Ghulam Sarwar. Nauman scored in the final against Maldives.[3] In the dying minutes of the game, Nauman scored the last goal in the 87th minute after Qazi Ashfaq, finishing the match by a 2–0 victory for Pakistan, and winning their second title in the competition.[3][4]

In the 1993 SAARC Gold Cup, Nauman scored against India in their first match between the two in 1993, ending in a 1–1 draw, with strikes from Nauman and IM Vijayan.[5] After scoring against Sri Lanka in a 1–2 defeat,[6] he again scored a brace against India in the 1993 South Asian Games, in the eventual 2–2 draw.[7]

He captained the national team in the subsequent 1995 South Asian Gold Cup.[8] In the 1997 SAFF Gold Cup, he scored against Nepal in a 2–0 victory in the first match of the tournament, as Pakistan finished at the third place.[9]

Post-retirement

[edit]

Nauman served as Lt. Colonel in the Pakistan Army after retirement from the game.[3][10] In October 2008, the Pakistan Football Federation approved 30 participants for the International Olympic Committee's Olympic Solidarity Technical Course, including Nauman.[11]

In 2010, Nauman acted as head coach of Pakistan Army.[2]

Nauman participated in the 2015,[12] and 2018 elections of the Pakistan Football Federation.[13]

In 2024, Nauman participated in the 2024 elections of the Pakistan Football Federation, getting initially elected as president of the Malakand district in early 2024.[14] He was controversially accused of forgery by Batkhela XI football club in Malakand. Jameel Islam, the injured party and president of the club, contended that Nauman made himself the president of his club in order to contest the district elections from Malakand.[14] Jameel also accused Nauman of making fake clubs during club scrutiny.[14] Nauman was initially reported as the favourite candidate of the normalisation committee installed by FIFA to contest for the PFF presidency.[14] However on 28 August 2024, Nauman along with 21 former officials faced a lifetime ban due to their alleged role in creating a parallel association and orchestrating a hostile takeover of the PFF offices three years ago, on 27 March 2021.[15][16] The following month, Nauman was cleared after an appeal to the Pakistan Football Federation and was able to contest for the consequent provincial stage of the elections,[17] where he eventually lost.[18][19]
