In an exciting development for women’s sports, the Saudi Arabian Football Federation (SAFF) has officially invited Pakistan’s national women’s football team for an international friendly match, scheduled during the upcoming FIFA window. This much-anticipated match will be held in Qatar, marking a historic moment for women’s football in both nations.
In addition to the friendly, sources reveal the possibility of a joint training camp, providing valuable collaboration and competitive experience for the teams on the international stage.
The Pakistan women’s football team has faced challenges in securing suitable opponents during FIFA windows, limiting their development opportunities since their return to international play. Recently, they competed in the South Asian Football Federation Championship, achieving a promising draw against the champions, Bangladesh, after a narrow loss to India.
Despite the persistent challenges surrounding the Pakistan Football Federation, players continue to rise to the occasion, representing their country with dedication and resilience despite limited resources.
SAFF has also shown commitment to supporting Pakistan’s football revival, recently sending the men’s national team to Islamabad for the FIFA World Cup Qualifiers. This collaboration signifies growing regional support for Pakistan’s journey in the international football arena.
