The Pakistan Football Federation (PFF) is organizing a training camp in Al Ahsa, Saudi Arabia, ahead of their AFC Asian Cup 2027 Qualifier against Syria on March 25.
The PFF Normalization Committee (NC) is currently working to secure funding from both the AFC and FIFA to ensure the successful execution of the camp.
This much-important camp is expected to provide the national team with sufficient time and resources to prepare for the high-stakes encounter.
Pakistan has been placed in Group E of the qualifiers, alongside Syria, Afghanistan, and Myanmar, with matches to be played on a home-and-away basis.
The high-octane encounter against Syria will be the first step for the Men in Green in their bid to qualify for the 2027 AFC Asian Cup.
The decision to hold the camp in Saudi Arabia is seen as strategic due to its world-class facilities and proximity to Syria, helping the team acclimatize.
The camp will also provide an opportunity for the coaching staff to assess the fitness and form, while fine-tuning tactical strategies for the upcoming match.
A PFF official hopes for AFC and FIFA support, stressing the importance of the camp for the preparation of the team and player development.
