Fédération Internationale Football Association (FIFA) House, the long-standing administrative hub of Pakistan's football operations -- situated in Lahore -- has been vacated on Tuesday amid an ongoing lease dispute.
As per details, the Punjab Revenue Department has assumed control of the premises, leaving the footballing community in a state of flux.
The issue revolves around a lease dispute between the Pakistan Football Federation (PFF) and the Board of Revenue.
Under the previous administration, the situation had deteriorated, and with 11 years remaining on the lease, it has culminated in the building being evacuated.
Notably, the Normalization Committee, tasked with overseeing football operations in Pakistan, had established its offices at FIFA Football House. Additionally, a hostel for players had been set up within the same premises, providing accommodation for the country's football talent.
The lease predicament has cast a shadow over the Football Federation, with no immediate resolution in sight.
The PFF, currently engrossed in the World Cup Qualifying Round match, is expected to address the matter once the ongoing sporting commitments are concluded.
