Symposiums, workshops and NGO-level awareness campaigns by the PFF banking on the Pakistan women's national team.

But actual football for them beyond that one event? Zero. Because 'lack of funds' is the go-to excuse.

The PFF leadership had termed 2026 a ‘big year for women’s football’, but no other activity happened apart from the FIFA Series

The PFF had its premises seized multiple times on frivolous lease agreement violation (politically motivated moves) but here Gymkhana pays peanuts and even defaults on that too.

Different rules for different folks.

Irony: GK is a defaulter on Rs. 5,000 / year rent of c. 1100 kanals since 2020 🙇

Gotta be the only federation obsessed with this UN football for mental health thing, there are 210 other federations who don't constantly brag about this.

The PFF isn't an NGO that needs UN help, its a national sports body, delivering on actual football is what everyone wants.

PFF President Syed Mohsen Gilani and COO Shahid Niaz Khokhar met United Nations Chief of Partnerships and Global Engagement Robert Skinner on the sidelines of the AFC Member Associations and Regional Associations Presidents' and General Secretaries' Conference in Tokyo on Wednesday. The meeting comes with the PFF having partnered the UN in the successful Football for Mental Health programme in Pakistan.

@FootyFelicity Pretty much. Saff wanted a home and away tournament in league format but logistics and regional politics weren't gonna allow it.

[FootballPakistan.com @FootballPak]

Considering how badly SAFF Cup has been organised, no surprise Gianni has come up with this.

Pretty sure some associations will find a way mess this one up too.

[ASEAN FOOTBALL @theaseanball]

🚨 FIFA is considering a new regional football competition tentatively named the FIFA Himalaya Cup, following discussions on football development during FIFA President Gianni Infantino's visit to Bhutan. 🇧🇹

Could the Himalaya Cup become the next regional football competition? 👀

[FootballPakistan.com @FootballPak]

Probably the only way Pakistan gets a league because people in charge seem to have forgotten how domestic football works.

Last completed full league season was in 2014.

[Faizan Lakhani @faizanlakhani]

Seeing how FIFA is launching regional tournaments, it seems, the folks at PFF are now hoping for FIFA to announce the FIFA Pakistan Football League.

[FootballPakistan.com @FootballPak]

@FootyFelicity Looks like just one of those Gianni ideas, even if it happens prob last 1 edition.

[Pakistan Football Federation @TheRealPFF]

Absolutely no chance of that happening as long as Khokhar is in Pakistani football alongside the crew he has assembled.

@arskhan04 Our sports biggest problem remains the level of ignorance.

Why can't NBP just own a team and back it professionally rather than dept jobs for players.

[FootballPakistan.com @FootballPak]

Pakistan sports big brain idea in 2026 is revival of department teams.

Sports ka kuch nahin ho sakta. Just not ready to understand how the world has moved on and what we need to do.

This is the problem when vast majority of sports stakeholders and policy makers have nothing to do with sports.

[Abdul Rehman Shahbaz Khan @arskhan04]

🚨 NBP to revive departmental hockey team
•National Bank of Pakistan (NBP) has decided to revive its departmental hockey team, in a major boost for Pakistan hockey.
•Recruitment of players will begin immediately, with the team set to participate in the upcoming National Games.
•The move is expected to create employment opportunities for young hockey players and strengthen Pakistan’s departmental hockey structure.
•PHF emphasised that the revival of departmental hockey is crucial for players’ financial security, domestic competition and the development of future national team players.
•PHF also reaffirmed its commitment to working with public and private institutions to expand opportunities for both men’s and women’s hockey.
•NBP has historically played a significant role in developing hockey players who went on to represent Pakistan internationally.
