The Pakistan Football Federation (PFF) is preparing 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 working to secure funding from the AFC and FIFA to ensure the camp is successfully executed.
The camp is expected to provide the team with essential preparation time and high-quality facilities for the upcoming match.
Pakistan’s football team has been placed in Group E of the qualifiers, alongside Syria, Afghanistan, and Myanmar.
Matches will be played on a home-and-away basis, with the encounter against Syria marking the beginning of Pakistan’s bid to qualify for the 2027 AFC Asian Cup.
The decision to hold the camp in Saudi Arabia is seen as a strategic move due to the availability of world-class facilities and the proximity to Syria, which will allow the team to acclimatize to similar conditions.
It will also offer the coaching staff a chance to evaluate players’ fitness and form, while refining tactical strategies for the match.
A PFF official expressed confidence in securing the necessary financial support, emphasizing that the camp is crucial for the team’s readiness.
