Stay tuned with 24 News HD Android App
Pakistan football team is set to depart for Jordan via Doha on Sunday morning to face off against Jordan in the second match of their home and away series, reported 24NewsHD TV channel Saturday.
The stakes are high following Pakistan's defeat in their tour of Pakistan, where the Jordanian team secured a 3-0 lead.
With three matches played in the second phase of the World Cup qualifying round, Pakistan has yet to taste victory, suffering defeats in each encounter. The upcoming match on March 26 represents a chance for redemption and a test of resilience for the team.
Compounding the challenges, Abdullah Iqbal, a key overseas player for Pakistan, will be absent from the lineup. Iqbal's consecutive yellow cards in the last two matches have led to a one-match suspension, leaving a gap in the team's formation.
