KARACHI: FIFA is not happy with the situation of Pakistan’s football and it may impose a lengthy ban on the country if it fails to correct its own house.
Credible sources told ‘The News’ on Friday that FIFA’s senior officials are furious over the situation in Pakistan football and are considering imposing a five-year ban on the country if the situation is not resolved in a few days at the local level.
FIFA the other day suspended Pakistan and has said that the suspension will be lifted only after it receives a confirmation from the PFF Normalisation Committee that it has achieved complete access to the PFF headquarters, accounts and other necessary channels and can operate independently.

Karachi: Karachi United and Highlanders Football Club have announced to withdraw from the ongoing National Women Football Championship (NWFC) after Syed Ashfaq Hussain Shah’s group refused to hand over Pakistan Football Federation’s (PFF) offices back to the Normalization Committee (NC).
The Ashfaq-led group’s act will lead Pakistan into facing a suspension from FIFA. The two clubs said that they do not support the incident that took place at PFF last weekend and have, hence, decided not to play under the new setup as protest.
