Football World Cup Qualifier Challenge
Pakistan will fight Iraq to qualify for a rare position in the next Football World Cup to be held in 2010 in South Africa. Iraq is a strong force in Asian leg of the game and has recently won Asia Cup in July, 2007.
On the other hand, our team is trying hard to make a mark on platform of the world’s most popular sport by winning two SAF Cups and recent surprise wins over strong teams like Singapore. Besides, inclusion of six foreign based Pakistani football players in the national team should also give Pakistan some boost.
