Pakistan’s international soccer ban lifted in time to contest Asian Cup qualifiers

FIFA has lifted the suspension on the Pakistan Football Federation after necessary constitutional changes were made for governance of the sport.
The lifting of the suspension restores PFF's membership, allowing participation in international events, including the 2027 AFC Asian Cup qualifiers, starting with a match against Syria on March 25.
PFF Chairman Saud Hashimi welcomed the decision, stating it is a historic day for Pakistani football and emphasizes a commitment to a stable future for football in Pakistan.
The PFF has been governed by a FIFA-appointed normalisation committee since June 2019 due to previous governance issues.
