In the 2025/26 season, Abu Muslim represented Afghanistan in the AFC Challenge League. The club lost 1-0 to Bhutan’s Paro in the preliminary round, with Evans Asante scoring the decisive goal in stoppage time.

Abu Muslim are now trying to complete the requirements needed to return to Asian competition. In a recent statement, the club said the Afghan champions can enter AFC tournaments if they meet the required criteria, but added that the licensing process has created serious difficulties.

The club said it had not received enough seminars, training courses or guidance to help complete the process properly. Abu Muslim also noted that last year the criteria were completed with the support of the club licensing department, while this year the club had been asked to handle the process largely on its own.

At the same time, Abu Muslim stressed that they had helped bring Afghan national-team players and footballers based abroad back into the domestic league. The club named Sharif Mohammad, Zulfagar Nazary, Mosawer Ahadi, Islamuddin Amiri, Owais Azizi, Sayer Sadat and other Afghan internationals among the players who returned to play in Afghanistan.

The Afghanistan Champions League continues to be held on a regular basis. In a difficult political and climatic environment, Abu Muslim are investing in their base, improving everyday conditions for the team and trying to prepare for a higher level of competition outside Afghanistan.
