FIFA lifts ban on Pakistan football

The International Federation of Football Association (FIFA) has lifted the ban on the Pakistan Football Federation (PFF) after the local body made desired constitutional amendments.

As per details, the top football governing body revoked the suspension after the PFF approved its proposed constitutional amendments in an Extraordinary Congress last week.

Member of the PFF Normalisation Committee (NC) Shahid Khokhar confirming the development thanked FIFA and Asian Football Confederation (AFC) for their constant support towards Pakistan.

“The suspension ended after the amendments were passed in the PFF Congress meeting,” said Khokhar. “The Pakistan Football Federation is grateful to FIFA and AFC for their continued support.”

It is worth mentioning here that FIFA, while announcing the suspension, had subjected the uplifting of the ban to the approval of the PFF Constitution presented by FIFA and the AFC.

The uplifting of the ban may also pave the way for the national football team to participate in the AFC Asian Cup Qualifiers, scheduled to commence next month.
