Final Round

Teams

For this edition, the qualifying round gathered 20 teams in November and December 2019 in Lahore, Karachi and Islamabad[1][2] and 8 teams were selected for the final competition,[3] instead of 14 during the 2018 edition[4] and 20 during the 2021 edition starting in March.[5]


Football authorities were alleged to privilege Karachi United while the competition took place in their home stadium and criticized because the playing field was not suitable for a 11 players team.[6]
