Social media users have been discussing for several days that Pakistan is currently without a national football championship.
Idman.Biz reports that the football league in the country with a population of approximately 250 million has been suspended since 2019.
The main reasons for the suspension of the football championship are cited as financial shortages, the management crisis in the Pakistan Football Federation, and sanctions imposed by FIFA.
The league has not been restored since then, and Pakistan has become the largest country in the world without a football championship.
Ironically, about 70% of the footballs used in the world are produced in Sialkot, Pakistan.
It should be noted that cricket is more popular in Pakistan. Since 2024, the transition of football clubs to a professional model is being discussed again. Also, individual investors are encouraged to establish new clubs.
