FIFA suspends Pakan Football Federation | Football News

The International Football Federation (FIFA) has suspended the Pakan Football Federation (PFF) after it failed to make amendments to its constitution which the world body deemed necessary for smooth and just governance of the sport in the country.
The world body said Pakan would remain suspended until the PFF congress made those amendments.
Pakan football has been run a FIFA appointed Normalisation Committee since June 2019 which was tasked with holding elections and cleaning up parallel groupings in the football set-up but it has failed to execute these plans properly.

The Normalisation Committee heads and members have changed in the last five but the core issues in the sport in Pakan still remain.
The Normalisation Committee has been at loggerheads with the state-run Pakan Sports Board which has caused a hold up in the amendments.
Earlier this week, the PFF Normalisation Committee chairman Haroon Malik had warned a parliamentary panel that February 15 will be the last day of his tenure and Pakan risked suspension if it didn’t implement the constitutional amendments.
Malik also made it clear that making the amendments didn’t mean that he will become a potential candidate in the elections of the country’s football governing body.Story continues below this ad
Malik said the PFF Congress was not willing to make the amendments as directed FIFA leading to a stand-off.
This is Pakan Football Federation’s third suspension since 2017.
