Haroon Malik is the Chairman of the Pakistan Football Federation (PFF) Normalisation Committee, which is currently in limbo because of an illegal takeover of the PFF headquarters by Ashfaq Hussain Shah's group. Because of this, FIFA has placed a suspension on Pakistani football. In an EXCLUSIVE interview, Haroon tells us his personal experience of the takeover. He outlines the Ashfaq group's demands and what the response is from FIFA and the Normalisation Committee. He also explains what the current situation is (if there are negotiations/communications going on between the parties) and whether Pakistan will get hit with a 5-year ban by FIFA or not. Here is a background on the PFF takeover and FIFA suspension you can watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ICHHx..., https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Zhwt....
