Syeda Amnah Batool, a Member of the National Assembly (MNA), has been appointed to FIFA’s prestigious Institutional Reforms Committee, marking a historic milestone for Pakistan in sports governance.
An official statement issued on Thursday confirmed that Syeda Amnah Batool is currently the only Pakistani serving on any FIFA committee.
