History of Aryan Club
In 1941 when there was no club in Afghanistan without Mahm-
udia Club, HRH Sardar Mohd Naim Khan who at that time was the
Minister of Education took necessary steps to found a new club in
Afghanistan, and hence accoring to his plan he wrote an application
to HM The King Mohammad Zahir Shah as follows:
"Ministry of Education wishes to call for and collect the best
atheletes and players of Afghanistan and to found a club, so that
they may prove themselves a good sportsmen in every mean. So for
this purpose I most humbly and respectfully beg to forward the foll-
owing few lines for HM's kind consideration.

Ministry of Education wishes to put the foundation of a club,
and it is also requested that all the laws and regulations of this
club will be made and fixed up in the first meeting which will be
held by us.
