Pakistan Army were able to defend their title by beating Karachi United 7-1 in the final.[2]

Final round

Teams

For this edition, the qualifying round gathered 20 teams in November and December 2019 in Lahore, Karachi and Islamabad[1][3] and 8 teams were selected for the final competition,[4] instead of 14 during the 2018 edition[5] and 20 during the 2021 edition starting in March.[6]

Football authorities were alleged to favour Karachi United as the competition took place in their home stadium and criticized because the playing field was not suitable for 11-a-side matches[7]
