PFF NC chairman Saud Hashimi and member Shahid Khokhar met with AFC President Sheikh Salman and AFC Deputy General Secretary Vahid Kardany on the sidelines of SAFF Extraordinary Congress
PFF Congress and NC members both seemingly backed each other on matters related to PFF elections during their meeting with the National Assembly Sub-committee on IPC.
Syed Zahir Ali Shah’s 'football acumen' helped settle thorny issues with other PFF Congress members; also separately met with FIFA-AFC delegation before crucial Extraordinary Congress vote.
PFF NC members met National Assembly Sub-Committee on IPC, assured them of completing PFF elections within next 2-3 months as long as PFF Congress approves FIFA-mandated amendments on 27 February.
All eyes are now on new PFF NC chairman Saud Hashmi as he attempts to satisfy FIFA’s conditions, persuade PFF Congress members to accept the constitutional amendments, restore Pakistan's place in international football, and ensure PFF elections take place.
Amid an ongoing FIFA ban, the PFF NC will see Saud Hashmi replace Haroon Malik as new chairman. Sudden withdrawal from 2027 ACQs may hint at PFF's lingering audit issues with FIFA.
While PFF NC battles to overturn FIFA ban on Pakistan, Hashmi will replace Canada-based Haroon Malik whose contract will expire on February 15.
