Published March 19, 2009

KARACHI, March 18 Pakistan Football Federation`s National Football Challenge Cup (NFCC) will be held in Hyderabad from April 15-28 and is being sponsored by the National Bank of Pakistan (NBP).

The decision to hold one of their major annual events in Hyderabad after a span of 50 years was taken by the PFF on the request of Sindh Football Association (SFA) and District Football Association Hyderabad.

The previous edition saw Navy winning after beating KRL 3-1 at the People`s Sports Complex.

The 14-day event now in its 10th year will be played at Hyderabad`s cricket ground Niaz Stadium as there is no suitable football ground in the city.

The tournament features 16 teams
