Women's football in Pakistan officially began with the establishment of the first women club Diya WFC in 2002.[1] Despite facing challenges, including societal norms and limited resources, women's football has garnered support and recognition.[2][3][4]
One the barriers of the sport growing is it coached by men so the Pakistan FA are trying to get more women involved in coaching and refereeing.[5][6]
