KARACHI: Pakistan will have fun India in three open matches in the combined Kingdom in July depending on government clearance, the Pakistan Football Federation (PFF) confirmed.
PFF promotion director Sardar Naveed thought an accord had been reached with the All India Football alliance and the dates for the three-match series are the majority probably 6-18 July.
The series against India was planned after the tour to Palestine was postponed indefinitely due to visa issues. Pakistan was supposed to play the go back prop of the bi-lateral succession in Palestine following Palestine had played in Pakistan earlier in the year.
“The series beside India will go ahead once their federation gets the clearance from their administration,” Naveed said while talking to NDTV.
The proposed cities anywhere the matches are most probable to be played are London, Manchester and Birmingham. Naveed said TouchSky Sports was helping the PFF fund this series, which will give the players some much needed international contact.
Naveed said the future three-match series alongside India will serve as good practice for Pakistan’s World Cup qualifiers. Pakistan will be up against Lebanon if they make it to the second round after playing Bangladesh in the first encircling.
Pakistan will play their initial round World Cup qualifier in Dhaka on June 29 while their second qualifier will be in Lahore on July 3.
The squad is also scheduled to play two practice matches with the national teams of Dubai and Qatar after which they plan to go to the United Kingdom.
