Pakistan women’s team gears up for SAFF Cup

The Pakistan Women’s Team is set to take part in this year’s SAFF Cup after a decent display in Cox’s Bazar a short while ago.

The PFF it seems have finally acknowledged the women’s teams and are giving them enough support that clubs have begun to sprout up in the country.

After the recently concluded championship in Karachi, a PFF official confirmed that the team will be travelling to the SAFF Cup, provided that the organizing dates can be scheduled after Ramazan.

“Pakistan women team will take part in the SAFF Cup in Sri Lanka in September but due to Ramadan it looks difficult to prepare the team as they need at least month-long preparations,” PFF secretary Col Ahmad Yar Khan Lodhi said.

“As there are a few other Muslim states participating in the event so we have written to the South Asian Football Federation to hold the competitions in October and if our demand was considered then it would be good for all the teams to prepare well for
the tournament,” he added.

The shambolic Tariq Lutfi, who has sent back Pakistani football by many years, is set to be named as the coach of the teams.
