Pakistan women's team to participate in Four-Nation Cup in Saudi Arabia

LAHORE: Pakistan Football Federation (PFF) announced Saturday that the national women's team will participate in the Four-nation Cup in Dammam, Saudi Arabia.

The national football governing body released the details of the Pakistan women's side visit to Saudi Arabia, where they will participate in the event from January 11 to 19.

The other three teams include hosts Saudi Arabia, Mauritius, and Comoros. The training camp of the national team will be announced soon.

It is worth mentioning here that this will be the second international assignment of the Pak Shaheens after the charge of the Pakistan Football House was handed over to the normalization committee (NC) appointed by FIFA.

Earlier, the national side participated in the SAFF Women's Football Championship after eight years of absence.

In the event held in Nepal, the Pakistan team defeated Maldives 7-0 and promised a bright future.

Pakistan also returned to the FIFA women's ranking, standing 160th in the list.

FIFA lifts ban on PFF

FIFA lifted ban on the PFF, which was imposed in April 2021 due to undue third-party interference, in June this year.

FIFA also extended the mandate of the NC by 12 months.

According to FIFA, the mandate of the normalisation committee includes managing of PFF’s daily affairs, ensuring the proper registration and scrutiny of the clubs in Pakistan, draft and ratify, with the assistance of FIFA and the AFC, an electoral code for the PFF, organise the elections at district followed by provincial levels and conduct the elections of a new PFF executive committee.
