One of the regional federations to organise football in what is now Pakistan Territory was the North-West India Football Association, established in 1932 and reportedly encompassing football control in Punjab, NWFP, Sindh and Balochistan.
Thus, on 5 December 1947 the Pakistan Football Federation was created. Mohammad Ali Jinnah, Pakistan's first Governor-General, became the patron-in-chief, and in 1948, the PFF became affiliated with FIFA. It was also one of the founding members of the Asian Football Confederation in 1954.
Despite the federation's headquarters being officially relocated between different cities, it reportedly lacked a permanent office for much of its early history. The federation's affairs were instead administered without a fixed office, with successive officials conducting its business from wherever they were based. In March 1966, reportedly the headquarters of the Pakistan Football Federation was shifted to Rawalpindi from Peshawar. On 6 May 1969, it was reportedly shifted to Lahore.
In 1976, during the presidency of Abdul Sattar Gabol, the foundations of Football House were laid in Lyari, Karachi. The federation's administrative work was subsequently conducted from Football House, which functioned as the PFF headquarters.
In 2004, FIFA House Lahore replaced the Football House of Lyari as PFF headquarters.
