FIFA, football’s world governing body, has suspended the Pakistan Football Federation (PFF) due to third-party interference.
A group of football officials, led by Ashfaq Hussain Shah, who was elected as PFF president in the 2018 elections sanctioned by the Supreme Court but not recognised by FIFA, took over the headquarters last month and seized control from the PFF Normalisation Committee (NC) appointed by FIFA and headed by Haroon Malik.
FIFA said its decision to suspend the PFF was prompted by the “hostile takeover” which constituted a serious violation of its statutes.
“FIFA issued a letter warning that, should the illegitimate occupation of the PFF headquarters not be lifted and the office bearers recognised by FIFA not be permitted free access to the building to carry out their mandate, the matter would be immediately submitted to the Bureau of the Council for decision,” FIFA said.

ISLAMABAD: For the young girls from Chitral who have left their hometowns for the first time, travelling to the federal capital has brought them double joy.
One, they have gotten the chance to see the country’s beautiful capital and second, they are receiving football training at the Pakistan Sports Complex - probably some of the few lucky students from the country’s far-flung areas to have found such an opportunity.
Among them is 13-year-old Sufiyana Wazir, who is one of the 40 under-16 football players from Chitral currently in Islamabad to receive training from Spanish coach Jose Alonso and Waleed Javed.
