The Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) Congress has officially confirmed the suspension of the Pakistan Football Federation.
The decision was announced by the football governing body after the 71st virtual FIFA Congress meeting on Friday.
In a statement FIFA said, “203 members out of the 207 attending voted in favour of the Bureau of the FIFA Council’s step to suspend Pakistan on April 7, 2021, for the third party’s interference.”
“Only one member association voted against it. The FIFA Congress also ratified the suspension of the Chadian Football Association,” it added.
FIFA President Gianni Infantino expressed the hope that the suspension can be lifted soon. “Obviously, soon we hope we can lift the suspensions on the football associations.”
