The Pakistan Football Federation (PFF) has established that the current U23 training camp in Abbottabad is going to shift to Islamabad on account of expected extreme climate. The rest of the program will now be in the venue of Jinnah Sports Complex. PFF appreciated the Director General of Pakistan Sports Board, Yasir Pirzada who managed to get the venue at such a short notice.
The same team will be traveling to Islamabad where Head Coach Nolberto Solano will come in and oversee the preparations of the team in the next fortnight. The camp has 50 players currently in it that had been selected by trials spread across the country. The 23-man shortlist to future events will be announced shortly.
