Pakistan Football Federation (PFF) appointed Adeel Rizki as Technical Director.
Adeel Rizki will be the new technical director of the federation from July 1, 2026.

In his new role, he will lead the national football technical development program in Pakistan and develop a long-term strategy for all fields of the game, including grassroots, women’s football, coach training and youth football, to drive these areas under an integrated development system.
He will also provide advice to the PFF Executive Committee on technical matters and coaching matters.
