National Challenge Cup Returns

The Pakistan Football Federation has announced the National Challenge Cup 2026, set to take place in Karachi during the first week of February. This prestigious domestic tournament reflects the vision of PFF President Syed Mohsen Gilani to revive and strengthen football at the grassroots and national level, bringing competitive football back into the spotlight.

With Ramazan approaching, the tournament is expected to be held at night, allowing greater fan engagement and player comfort. The matches are likely to be staged at Gizri Stadium, a familiar venue for domestic football, as Karachi once again prepares to host one of Pakistan’s most important football events.
