Club career

Ahmed started his career at CMF Sialkot, where his defensive ability was brought to attention and soon was called up to the national team. He was transferred to WAPDA in the 2002 season, where he was given the captaincy and won the National Championship in 2003. In the new Pakistan Premier League in 2004, WAPDA were one of the favourites to win the title, but it took until the final day of the season before they were crowned champions. They lost the PPL the following year.

Managerial career

After retiring from international football after the 2010 World Cup qualifiers in 2007, Ahmed became WAPDA Assistant Manager as well as retaining his squad player status, and helped them with the 2007–08 Pakistan Premier League.[1] As a result of these displays on and off the pitch, Tanveer Ahmed was once again called back to the national squad for the AFC Challenge Cup 2008 qualifiers by head coach Akhtar Mohiuddin. After failing to reach the AFC Challenge Cup he retired again.

He is the head coach at WAPDA since 2021.[1]
