FIFA has lifted its suspension on the Pakistan Football Federation (PFF), restoring the country's full membership, Anadolu Agency reported citing the PFF’s statement.

The suspension, which lasted several weeks, was removed after the PFF approved amendments to its constitution proposed by the global football body, the federation said in a statement Monday.

The decision, effective immediately, allows Pakistan to resume participation in international football events.

FIFA had suspended Pakistan last month after the PFF initially rejected the proposed changes, which aimed to ensure a transparent election process. However, the amendments were later approved at an "extraordinary meeting" of the PFF Congress on Feb. 27.

Welcoming the decision, the PFF said the lifting of the suspension fully empowers it to operate in accordance with FIFA and Asian Football Confederation (AFC) directives.

"This is a historic day for Pakistani football, and we are committed to fulfilling FIFA and AFC's mandate to ensure a stable and progressive future for the sport in the country," said PFF Chairman Saud Hashimi.

Pakistan’s national football team ranks 198th out of 211 teams in the FIFA world rankings.
