The 2003 President PFF Cup was the 16th edition of Pakistan National Football Challenge Cup. It ran from 18 September till 5 October 2003, and was held in Quetta.[1]
The tournament was initially scheduled to feature 17 teams, a reduction from the traditional 24. Two days before the event began, the Higher Education Commission (HEC) was added by newly elected Pakistan Football Federation secretary Arshad Khan Lodhi. This late inclusion led to a significant reshuffling of the original 16-team draw and group allocations. However, only 15 teams ultimately participated, as both HEC and the City District Government Karachi (CDGK) withdrew before playing any matches.[1]
PTCL won the title on coin toss after a draw against Karachi Port Trust, no penalty shoot-out was held because the chief guest, the governor of Balochistan, could not wait.[2][1][3]
