The Bureau took this decision as a result of the fact that the PFF offices and its accounts remain in control of a court-appointed administrator and this act constitutes a breach of the PFF obligations to manage its affairs independently, without influence from any third parties in accordance with the FIFA Statutes.
Following its suspension, the PFF loses all its membership rights as defined in art. 13 of the FIFA statues. The PFF representative and club teams are no longer entitled to take part in international competitions until the suspension is lifted.
It also means that neither the PFF nor any of its members or officials may benefit from any development programmes, courses or training from FIFA or the Asian Football Confederation (AFC); and in accordance with art. 16 par. 3 of the FIFA statues, other member associations may not entertain sporting contact with the PFF during its suspension.
