Pakistan’s national football team has been excluded from the AFC Asian Cup Saudi Arabia 2027 qualifiers following FIFA’s suspension of the Pakistan Football Federation (PFF).
This decision stems from FIFA stripping the PFF of all membership rights, which directly impacts the national team’s ability to compete. The PFF confirmed that the team will not be able to participate in the final round of the qualifiers.
The Asian Football Confederation (AFC) had previously issued a warning, stating that if FIFA’s suspension of the PFF was not lifted by March 4, Pakistan would be automatically withdrawn from the competition.
