Football took off in the 1920s in Hyderabad, the city of the Nizams. Football there received the patronage of the royalty, especially of the Nawab of Tarband and the Maharajas of Kakinada and Rajamundhri. Hyderabad Football Association was formed in 1939. Its first President was late Gulam Mohammed. Late SM Hadi was the first secretary of HFA. Ahmed Mohiuddin was a great sports lover and he was instrumental in starting almost every sports association in Hyderabad.
In 1942, SM Hadi became the President of Hyderabad Football Association and the legendary coach, SA Rahim, its Secretary. He was hailed in that post until his death in June
