The Pakistan Football Federation (PFF) found itself mired in a messy power struggle over Friday's election of its largest regional body with a rival group claiming voting never took place. Sardar Naveed Haider has been elected to head the Punjab Football Association (PFA) until 2019, PFF president Faisal Saleh Hayat has announced, claiming the election was held under FIFA guidelines. "They postponed the elections," former PFF secretary Hafiz Salman Butt told the Dawn newspaper. His victory was seen as a win for Hayat, who is expected to face a strong challenge from another government-backed candidate for his position in July, possibly from Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif's son-in-law.
