KARACHI, June 24: Pakistan Football Federation (PFF), though launched the national football league after years of delay, it has failed to take notice of blatant violations of FIFA rules.

In the match between Naka Mohammadan and HBL on Thursday rules were violated openly. While the jersey's Naka Mohammadan players wore had illegible numbers while unauthorised people sat on the bench during the game.

"Yes it is our bench and the people sitting on it are our supporters," Naka Mohammadan manager Ghulam Mustafa said when asked about the identity of the people sitting in place of players watching the game.

While Naka Mohammadan fans occupied the players bench, the players sat near the sidelines enjoying drinks as the match was in progress. Meanwhile, there is neither a scoreboard, clock, nor cardboard signs having numbers for substitutions at Aga Khan Gymkhana.
