KARACHI: Citing “failure to adopt a revision of the PFF Constitution that would ensure truly fair and democratic elections and thereby fulfill its obligations as mandated by FIFA as part of the ongoing normalization process of PFF,” the FIFA Council Bureau suspended the Pakistan Football Federation (PFF) on Thursday.
The Congolese Football Association (FECOFOOT) was also suspended by the world football regulatory body.
According to a statement, the suspension would only be lifted if the PFF Congress accepts the version of the PFF Constitution that FIFA and the AFC have submitted.
PFF Normalization Committee Chairman Haroon Malik stated earlier today that the world football organization may “conditionally” suspend Pakistan because of the impasse between FIFA and the PFF’s recently elected congress.
