LAHORE - Punjab Football Association (PFA) on Thursday organized seminars regarding Club Licensing and role of media in football development.

Shahid Khokhar and sports journalists Ch M Ashraf, Aqeel Ahmed and Azhar Khan delivered lectures to the attendees. They emphasized on club licensing, which, in the modern football, must be given much importance for the development of the game at clubs level. “We need to give club licensing great importance to comply with the future needs and also to give awareness to the clubs on this very vital subject,” they added.

The football governing bodies are putting their best resources to give knowledge to their members on this topic while making it compulsory for all to strictly follow the club licensing criteria. We should also do the needful.”
