The club was owned and managed by Hamid Sultani, a former member of the Herat provincial football selection and coach who developed players in Afghanistan's western region. Sultani was killed in an armed attack in Herat in October 2021.[2][3] The club subsequently appeared in local competition under the name Kohistan Shahid Sultani.[4][5]
