The 2016 National Football Challenge Cup or 2016 Pakistan Football Federation Cup was the 26th season of domestic association football cup tournament in Pakistani football. 24 teams took part in this competition held in Islamabad, Lahore, and Karachi from 28 January 2016 to 22 February 2016.[1]

Reigning champions Khan Research Laboratories successfully defended their title after defeating National Bank 1–0 in the final.

Background

[edit]

After eight months of no football action, the tournament was announced for 28 January 2016 to 23 February 2016. The PFF Cup, instead of the usual National Challenge Cup, was organised by the Lahore High Court appointed PFF administrator Justice Asad Munir.[2][3] The National Challenge Cup scheduled for April 2016 was later called off due to lack of sponsorship, leaving the PFF Cup as the only national knockout event that year.[4]

Format
