Overview
- The Governance and Statutes Revision Workshop, which ran May 31–June 1, launched a consultative process to draft a new PFF constitution with FIFA and AFC guidance.
- FIFA and AFC officials demanded clear separation of powers, conflict‑of‑interest rules, gender equality measures and competency requirements to reduce corruption risk.
- Both bodies warned that any third‑party interference will not be tolerated and that failure to comply could lead to loss of member‑association rights.
- PFF President Syed Mohsen Gilani pledged greater stakeholder representation, rejected reforms that would expand his personal power and outlined plans to professionalise provincial associations by recruiting general secretaries.
- The PFF must move from consultations to drafting and a phased rollout to provincial and district levels, a process tied to recent 2014 statutes and last year’s Normalisation Committee elections and framed as key to improving administration and on‑field results.
