LAHORE: FIFA installed Normalisation Committee for Pakistan Football Federation (PFF) in September 2019 with Humza Khan as its chairman, giving it the mandate to hold PFF elections by June 2020. However, the committee failed to meet the deadline due to various reasons. Its tenure was then extended until December 31, 2020, but once again it failed to meet the deadline. The mandate has now been extended to June 30, 2021. However, this time the NC chairman is Canada-based football enthusiast Haroon Malik.
It’s a tough task for Haroon to conduct elections in the environment in which football community of Pakistan finds itself deeply divided. However, he hopes the task will be completed provided no further complications and legal issues arose.
HAROON Malik addresses the media on Tuesday.
LAHORE: Haroon Malik has a very measured approach when it comes to talking. He says every word carefully and meticulously.
He probably needs to do that considering he’ll be measured by every word he says during his tenure as the Pakistan Football Federation Normalisation Committee chairman.
In his first news conference, in a novel setting in the gardens overlooking the PFF House due to coronavirus concerns, Haroon’s every sentence was thoughtfully crafted.
Haroon talked about doing a lot of things doing wrongs of the past right in particular but with five months left in the mandate given to the Normalisation Committee, he understands it won’t be easy.

With a new chairman of the PFF normalisation committee, we can expect Pakistan football to come out of the quagmire it has been stuck in for years
And finally FIFA and AFC changed the guard, bringing in a fresh-looking Pakistan Football Federation (PFF) Normalisation Committee to hold the PFF elections. Canada-based football enthusiast Haroon Malik has been brought in as the chairman. And out of the remaining four members three have been replaced. Only Muneer Ahmad Khan Sadhana, who served as acting chairman after the resignation of former chairman Humza Khan, has been retained. Former PFF officials Shahid Khokhar, Saud Hashmi and Haris Azmat have replaced Col Mujahid, Sikandar Khattak and Asma Bilal.
