Pakistan women’s football team denied NOC for SAFF Championship

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Sports Board (PSB) has once again refused a no-objection certificate (NOC) to the Pakistan Football Federation (PFF) and this time it is the Pakistan women’s football team, whose participation in the South Asian Football Federation (SAFF) Women’s Championship is in doldrums.

In a letter sent to PFF, the Pakistan Sports Board cited the submission of the NOC request after the designated time frame and the absence of the required signature from the chairman of the Normalisation Committee (NC) for the decline of the request.

“Since the instructions issued by the PSB have not been followed, we regret to inform you that, due to time constraints and non-compliance with our procedural requirements, the PSB is unable to process the NOC request for participation in this event,” the letter wrote.

Previously, the PSB denied the NOC for the U17 men’s team to participate in the SAFF u17 Championship, however, it was given at the eleventh hour. The NOC at that time was also declined following a similar reason of belated submission and incomplete documentation.

The Pakistan women’s football team is currently holding a training camp in Islamabad, with plans to depart for Nepal on October 12. The tournament is scheduled to be held from October 17 to 30.
