Zurich, Oct 11
Pakistan has been suspended
from international football
because of what global soccer
body FIFA descr ibed as
undue third-party interference
in the country’s footbal l
federation (PFF).
FIFA said in a statement that
the suspension would
prevent Pakistani teams,
including the national side,
from playing in international
competition and the PFF from
benef i t i ng f rom FIFA
development and training
programmes.
“The PFF off ices and i ts
accounts remain in control of
a court -appointed
admin is t ra tor, which
constitutes a violation of the
Pakistan suspended from
international football by FIFAPFF obligations to manage its
affairs independently and
without influence from any
third parties in accordance
with the FIFA Statutes,” said
FIFA. “The suspension will be
lifted once the PFF offices and
access to the PFF accounts
are returned to the PFF.”
According to FIFA records,
Pakistan, 200th of 211 teams
in the world rankings, have
not played a full international
since a 0-0 draw with Yemen
in a World Cup qualifier in
March 2015. Pakistan have
never qualified for the World
