2 min read

Lahore, 19 Jan : Spain-based goal keeper Naiman Khan reported to coach Tariq Lutfi  in selection-trial-cum-coaching camp which is in full swing at the famous Model Town Football Academy, located at Model Town C & D Block, Lahore. Naiman used to guard the cage of  Agrupacion Deportiva Pablo Iglesias (ADPI) Rivas, Madrid ( Spain). The upcoming keeper met the age restriction of the coming show that allowed only players born on or after 1 January 1989. The date of birth of Karachi-born Naiman Khan is 12 December 1991.

“The inculsion of Naiman enhanced the GK strength to nine with Amir Gul (NBP), second choice keeper after Jaffar Khan in 16th Asian Games last year, and Saqib Hanif (PEL) were called on the recommendation of GK Coach Aslam Khan while in order to make sure checking off all talented age-group GK around the country I have also permitted Basit Ghafoor (WAPDA) and Ghulam Raza (Quetta) to show their status in the Camp. Muzammil Hussain (WAPDA), Muhammad Omer (KESC), Bilal Rafiq (PIA), Tanveer Mumtaz ( YDC Faisalabad) complete the number.

Lutfi, only player in Pakistan soccer history to win all three League matches in SAFF Championship eight years ago, added that 44 players reported in the National Camp that commenced on Monday in the build up for the Pakistan Youth team to appear in the 2012 Olympic football Asian qualifying tournament. The Camp will run until 4 February 2011 at the same venue.

Besides GKs Amir Gul, Basit Ghafoor, Ghulam Raza and Saqib Hanif,I have also asked outfield players Muhammad Usman (PEL), Akbar Hussain, Aoun Shah (WAPDA), and Muhammad Umer ( Sahiwal) in the Camp to prove their mental tougness and fitness for coming assignment. The absentees from the Camp are Jadeed Khan, Manzoor Ahmed (WAPDA), Muhammad Riaz (KESC), Zakir Lashari (HBL), Abdul Jabbar (PIA) and Mudssar Waseem (PAF).

Pakistan have been pitted against Malaysia with the first leg to be played in Kuala Lumpur on 23 Feb 2011 and the return leg in Pakistan on 9 March 2011.

  1. kuch sharam ayye hai PFF ko isiliye jaffar khan ko farigh kia hai,, Jaffar Khan uselessssssss….

    1. this tournament is for u-21 players.You never know they might bring him back for future assignments….

    1. he is really fit, i hope he is selected, he is probably one of two players who are genuinely u-21 :)

    1. jadeed khan is the winning key for pakistan. i hope he jins the camp soon.
      the first day all i saw was unfit lot of players.
      hope mr lutfi trims themnin shape.,

      1. PPL only ended less than a month ago and already the boys are unfit?! lol.

        I am sure Jadeed Khan Pathan will join the camp since he has been formally called up :)

        1. I doubt that he will be come. Most likely he will (and should) be told to stay at home. There is no way he is U21. No point in being punished by the AFC just because Jadid Khan’s parents decided to fake his birthdate.

  5. Yosuff Butt i perfect for this job i think so. Naiman will not be as better as he is.

    1. have you seen HIM? HAVE YOU? i have!!!!

      KaleemUllah: Naiman is exceptional, the save he made to his left was so good, it made everyone in team talk of him.

      GK Coach: He is very good in all departments, but he is a little overweight (a bahana to drop him)
      Gauhar to GK Coach: He looks all muscle to me, anyhow if he is very good in everything but weight, WHY DO YOU HAVE THE 6 WEEK CAMP. GET HIM LOSE SOME.
      GK Coach: *Silence*

  6. Appreciate Naiman Khan… coming all this way to Pakistan, for the sake of Football of this country….
    Cheers mate !!!
