It's really sad to see that Pakistan is not able to play this Asian cup 2023 even though we are one of the prominent country in this region. It's not that we were not able to qualify, but actually, FIFA has banned Pakistan from playing football.
The Pakistan Football Federation has been banned by FIFA for more than a year for some unknown reasons and we are not sure when this ban will be lifted. It's a sad moment for me

FIFA has not banned Pakistan for unknown reason but for known reasons,
Its not a big issue and I dont know why Pakistan government not fulfilling demands of FIFA.
Even Pakistan has rich history in sports but sadly in last two decades they are going down badly even now FIFA banned them due to their poor acts in PFF involvement and mostly Federations are run by ex army persons which is the worst thing happening.
Due to this now they are losing all their International involvements because mostly International Federation's no like Government's involvement, but they are not having any response to this all and doing their jobs which is having bad impact on youths and games few years back there were many great Squash and Hockey players now all gone with soccer is also having completely down and out but due to uncertainty of political system no one able to settle things which is going to happen for some more years hopefully in next few years someone tries to settle things in positive side.
^ Actually, the problem is in Pakistan even their own political situation is not very good. They are facing a lot of problems politically. And there are a lot of bigger problems in Pakistan. Among all those problems the problem with sports really does not look very big. And that is another reason why I think Pakistan is going to need a lot more time to solve these problems with sports. Pakistan also had some big problems to fix in cricket. Luckily those problems are getting fixed with time.
All the other sports or not as popular as cricket in Pakistan so those problems are also going to need more time than it took in the case of cricket.
