FIFA lifts Pakistan football suspension

ZURICH: FIFA, the governing body of world football, said on Thursday that it had lifted its suspension of the Pakistan Football Federation (PFF) imposed for “undue third-party interference.”

Pakistan was suspended in April 2021 after a dispute over a ‘normalisation committee’ imposed by FIFA to ensure its rules were being followed.

FIFA had refused to recognise the 2018 election of Ashfaq Hussain Shah as president of the PFF.
