PFF bans officials

Published August 5, 2006

LAHORE, Aug 4: The Pakistan Football Federation has imposed ten-year ban on two officials of the Islamabad Football Association for sending an under-16 team to Germany on fake documents.

An inquiry committee headed by Fazal-ur-Rehman conducted inquiry into the matter.

A spokesman of the PFF said that vice-president Syed Tanvir Ahmad and executive member Asif Hammad Malik of the Islamabad Association had succeeded in getting visas for 11 players and two officials on forged papers.

Surprisingly, the PFF did not send the case to immigration authorities for legal action.
