Recently, Pakistan Football Federation (PFF) invited various Asian teams, including India, to tour the country to play a series of football matches but they failed to receive a positive response. Kaleemullah however has worked his magic off the field and convinced two European teams to travel to Pakistan.
“I tried contacting European teams as I have played there. I got a good response and they are ready to visit Pakistan. If PFF is interested, I can arrange these matches in June,” he added.
Although football has been largely ignored in the country for many years, the new normalization committee of the PFF has made valiant efforts to promote the game in the country. It will be a huge success if Kaleemullah manages to convince the PFF to allow the European teams to tour Pakistan to play a series of matches.
