You deal with diaspora families whose last Pakistani connection can sometimes be 3 generations ago
You have to be very sensible in your approach and why you want this
Plus you lay down the red carpet to convince them
And then there is a whole painful documentation process
Seems like a gutsy man....
🚨 Sri Lanka coach Mutairi slams refereeing after the draw against Bhutan:
“I have experience from 2021. So please, if the commercial benefits mean you want 🇮🇳 India and 🇧🇩 Bangladesh in the final, just have a competition between those two. The others can play off in another window.
This time, I am not being direct. Next time, if the referee makes the same mistakes and the atmosphere is the same, just give India and Bangladesh the final.
Send the other teams home and save us the time we are wasting.”

That last line... sums it up. Instilling a proper system for recruitment within the PFF is important. A recruitment team that reports the technical staff daily. Pakistan has never done that and hence we fail to recruit such talents.
With some academy kids you can play the waiting game especially if they're playing for youth national teams. We did that with Easah, Adil, Etzaz and Fazal etc.
It's those who don't have a 3rd option but still playing hard to get, that's the annoying part.
PFF's lack of recruitment system part is correct and the documentation process is also off putting.
Women's team is being treated like an NGO in Pakistan football. A team that has the potential to reach Asian Cup in next 5-10 years needs support. The neglect from the federation is baffling.
They think its not important....
پاکستانی ویمنز فٹبال کو وعدوں اور دعوؤں سے نہیں، مسلسل میچز، بہتر منصوبہ بندی اور عملی اقدامات سے آگے بڑھانے کی ضرورت ہے۔

Restricted funding is always an issue, but when it comes to free tours and unnecessary travel, there never seems to be a shortage of resources at PFF. Yet, they can’t even send official content creator/photographer with the team.

Pakistan's third string side. Without Otis, Easah, Iqbal, Ali Akbar, Ali Shah, Fazal, Ali Agha, Rahis, Adil Nabi, Adam Khan, Faraz Gulzari, Abdullah Shah, Abdul Samad, Moin Jr, Rao and countless other names.
Naam le le kar thak jai ge but list khatam ni honi. PAKISTAN 'C' team

Every player in the NT right now should have an objective to find a club at the earliest.
This SAFF Championship should be treated as a building block for the all important WCQ R1 in March and call ups should be entirely based upon club status first and foremost.
In that case you should close your federation because your India 'B' team conceeded a goal from a player who doesn't have a league at all.
Hope that helps you sleep.
Pakistan fielded two origin players in their starting XI.
With a local centre back like Haseeb Khan who did not play for Pakistan since 2024. (8 local players with no league including subs)
A great fight back by the MNT 'C' team. Unbelievable.
M.Junaid, Abdul Rehman and Najeeb were all playing for Pakistan u-20 team in March.
One started vs India today, two came of the bench...
Clearly a third string side of Pakistan with a massive performance.
With No Adil Nabi...
A total of 8 players who faced India today.... have no domestic competitive minutes under their belt.
Including midfielder Muhammad Junaid who came off the bench and was brilliant with his close control and trickery in tight spaces.
#pakistanfootball
Five players in the starting XI of Pakistan had no league. Including Hayyan and Alamgir who have not played in a proper league since May.
Najeeb Ullah the goalscorer who came off the bench has no league and yet he scored vs India B team.
A great second half performance.

🚨Pakistan national team’s preparations ahead of SAFF Championship are in complete disarray due to PFF’s mismanagement.
The squad travelled in groups from Lahore and Islamabad, missed their connecting flight in Doha due to a short transit time, and arrived in Dhaka without kits & training equipment.
The NT reportedly missed today’s training session, while the MCM meeting was reportedly cancelled due to the missing kits. Head coach Nolberto Solano was reportedly furious and refused to attend the press conference, sending assistant coach Titus Bramble instead.
Now, Pakistan may have to play tomorrow against India without a proper training session, depending on whether the kits arrive on time.
A national team travelling for intl competition without basic arrangements. This is beyond embarrassing. PFF’s incompetence is putting the team’s preparations at risk. 🤦♂️😡
SAFF rules do not allow changes in the 32 man squad.
Bangladesh will not be able to replace Ronan Sullivan after injury accordingto sources.
The question is why PFF did not include the names of Iqbal and Easah in 32 man squad?
Why there is no official squad announcement?
Ali Akbar Khan, Abdul Samad Arshad, Easah Suliman and Abdullah Iqbal are expected to join squad in semis.
Not available vs India.
#pakistanfootball
Pakistan will have 10 players in their final 28 man squad who are 23 or below that age. (Including Hayyan Khattak and Abdul Samad Arshad)
The same as India ....
