Football: Pakistan to host Palestinians
Pakistan Football Federation secretary Ahmed Lodhi said: “We are delighted to host Palestine for two friendly matches between October 14-18 and hope that the tour will send a good message to the world that our country is safe for international sports.”
Lodhi said the visit followed a Palestinian tour last year involving two matches against a Pakistan Under-22 team.
“It is a good sign that teams have found Pakistan a safe place and we look forward to hosting more teams in the future,” said Lodhi.
