Pakistan Football Federation suspened by FIFA
The ban comes as a further blow to Pakistani football. The men's national team has not played a game since 2015, resulting in an all-time low world ranking of 200 and there is no professional league in the country.
Pakistan Football Federation has been banned by FIFA with immediate effect due to undue third-party interference. With the ban PFF’s national and the club are not entitled to take part in international competitions until the suspension is lifted.
In the statement, the governing body stated,’’ The suspension will be lifted once the PFF offices and access to the PFF accounts are returned to the PFF’’.
Further to its teams being banned from playing, the suspension means none of the PFF's members or officials can benefit from development grants or training courses from FIFA or the Asian Football Confederation (AFC).
