Pakistan has passed another historic milestone in the field of sports.
According to the announcement made by the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, the member of the National Assembly of Pakistan, Sayeda Amina Batul, was appointed to the prestigious FIFA Institutional Reforms Committee.
The appointment of Member of the National Assembly Syeda Amina Batul is an important development for Pakistan in the field of diplomacy and sports. Syeda Amina Batul is the only representative of Pakistan in various committees of FIFA.
The historic appointment is a sign of FIFA’s renewed confidence in Pakistan’s institutional arrangements, acknowledging Pakistan’s positive and constructive role in global football governance.
The appointment is a clear fruit of the ongoing and serious efforts of the current government for football.
The government under the leadership of Prime Minister Muhammad Shahbaz Sharif has shown a clear political commitment to promote football as a free, transparent and merit-based sport.
The Prime Minister recently met with the President of the Asian Football Confederation and the Deputy President of FIFA, Sheikh Salman Bin Ibrahim Al Khalifa.
The meeting reiterated Pakistan’s commitment to an independent and transparent football federation, the development of football across the country, and the hosting of international football events.
FIFA President Gianni Infantino also appreciated Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif’s great determination to promote football in Pakistan.

The current government aligns itself with FIFA’s values of inclusion and transparency.
Earlier the Pakistan Football Federation (PFF) was inactive for unnecessary interference and faced international sanctions.
In the last six months, PFF President Seyid Mohsin Gilani made significant efforts to restore and develop the federation on the domestic and international levels.
The government under the leadership of Prime Minister Shehba Sharif sees football not only as a competitive sport, but as a strategic tool for social cohesion and youth development.
The plan for the future includes a systematic, actionable and collaborative partnership with FIFA.
Future plans also include linking talent development with gender-sensitive sports management.
The appointment of the first female manager of the men’s national team is also one of the important points.
Ms. Amina Batul’s role in FIFA will be to strengthen the system of institutional reforms, ensuring effective implementation.
With the appointment of Syeda Amina Batul, Pakistan will emerge as an honorable, credible and constructive member of the global football community.
