LAHORE: The Pakistan Football Federation (PFF) on Friday unveiled a new logo on Friday, replacing the one that had been in use for more than two decades.
The new logo, which reflects Pakistan’s national identity and heritage, has been approved under the leadership of President Syed Mohsen Gilani.
Following the decision, Mohsen Gillani shed light on the key aspects and the need for the new logo.
“Our current logo does not represent the spirit, culture, or global image of Pakistan. There is a strong need for a visual identity that speaks to both our legacy and our future ambitions,” he stated.
It is noteworthy to mention that the decision to change the PFF logo also aligns with the expectations of sponsors for a modern and representative symbol that reflects Pakistan’s footballing aspirations.
The new logo has been formally approved by the Executive Committee, which is also a step forward in the PFF’s broader mission to revitalize football in Pakistan and strengthen its image on both the national and international stages.
The old PFF logo was in use since 2003, during which time the Pakistani flag was replaced with a football.
On November 12, 2003, the then-PFF president, Faisal Saleh Hayat, approved the logo.
The decision set aside the importance of the Pakistani flag, which had been used since the federation’s foundation in 1948.
