Pakistan Football Federation (PFF) has laid down the rules for the upcoming District Football Association (DFA) elections. These elections will pave the way for the next elected body of the PFF to arrive.
FIFA, football’s governing body, appointed a ‘Normalization Committee (NC)’ in Pakistan during the year 2019 when a third-party interference resulted in FIFA not recognizing the new chairperson of PFF.

A ‘Provincial Election Commissioner (PEC)’ will appointed to make sure that the elections are free and fair. A ‘District Convenor’ will then be appointed by the PEC.
There is a criteria for eligibility to the ‘District President’ position, the criteria can be read in the document. The terms ‘Ballot Paper’ and ‘Ballot Boxes’ have been used in accordance with the election day.
The term ‘Financial Transparency’ is used which indicates PFF’s stance on the elimination of corruption from the federation.
