Lahore Pakistan, Sunday, April 28, 2013:
Pakistan U-14 footballers continued their magnificent run and demolish the arch rival India in the AFC U-14 Championship -2014 (Qualifiers) match at Samen Al Aemeh Stadium, Mashad, Iran by 2:0. Midfielder Muhammad Ikhlas the scored the first goal in the 9th minute of the first half. The second goal scored by the Striker Majeed Khan in the 44th minute of the second half.
The victory of Pakistan further strengthens their chances to qualify for the final round of the inaugural AFC U-14 Championship. Pakistani Youth footballers showed their professional game skills to outclass the top teams of Asia. Match against India at any level is considered as the biggest match. The players of both teams always have an added pressure to perform beyond their ability and strength.
According to the press release issued here by PFF, Pakistan didn’t take any extra pressure in a match of such level and enjoyed most of the possession. They were focused and showed their dominance against the Indian team. This match was equally important for India whose team has already lost the most crucial match against host Iran and won against Kyrgyzstan.
This match was equally important for India to remain in the competition but their hopes got a shock in this match by a better planning and offensive strategy of the Pakistani team under the expert coaching. It is pertinent to mention that Pakistan showed to the football family that despite limited resources as compare to India, Pakistan youth team is far superior.
President PFF, Makhdoom Syed Faisal Saleh Hayat showed great pleasure on the devotion of the Pakistani team. He was thrilled with the effort of PFF in coaching of the players and training being given to them by their coaches.
Lt. Col. ® Ahmed Yar Khan Lodhi was jubilant on the success of his team and hoped that they would continue to display this ability in the next match.
With three convincing victories under the belt confident Pakistan U-14 National team now play their last and the most crucial game against the Host Iran on 29 April. This match will confirm the slot of one team from Group D for the final round of AFC U-14 Championship.





Why the many foreigner and other football lover are not giving comments on the performance of pakistan u14 qualifier
Good Aslam. They always fell on here when we had wrong results
Anybody can win at Under-14 level if we are honest…It’s when they grow up the real results and real performances count.
Well Done Kids you are always brilliant. Big applause. You have raised our heads and bowed the greatest opponents. Good Luck.
I never been so happy about pakistani football team as am today for the performance of pakistan u14 football team which is palying in iran against the very high rank team of the asia.
SECONDLY, I am sorry to see here that there is no one commenter for comments here, as there were many peoples and football lover from all over the world who were use to give comments on pakistan football team performance.
This is the our youth team and is the future of pakistan football. many people were use to give suggestion about the development of football on grass root level and working on youth. and now the dreams is comming true as you can see the youth team’s performance in u14 saff chamipionship winner and also fustal matches held in japan in which pakistan came 3rd. Now pakistan is showing one of the best performance ever by pakistan football in pak u14 into AFC u14 qualifier.
NOW MY PRAYERS ARE WHTH PAKISTANI TEAM. AND NOW THE LAST MATCH OF THE QUALIFER WITH IRAN WILL DECIDE TOP GROUP TEAM TO QUALIFY FOR AFC U14 CHAMPIONSHIP. AND IF PAKISTAN U14 DEFEAT IRAN IT WILL BE FIRST EVER TIME IN THE HISTRY OF PAKISTAN TO DEFEAT IRAN FOOTBALL TEAM AT ANY LEVEL
BEST OF LUCK TEAM PAKISTAN, INSHALLAH ALLAH IS WITH YOU
Dear Pakistani players are good, but Pakistan coaches are only OK. I will summarize this with the international performance/results of Pak NT under Zavisa versus KRL under Lutfi sb. We have a brilliant pool of youth sine a long time, but we have inappropriate upper levels. Look at Kalim Ullah. He has been in international team since long time but his game has not improved as a youngster of any other country can do. Compare him with Jeje Lal.. (his Indian counterpart)
Another example is Jadeed Khan… While Bilal (the hero of last year u-14 qualifiers where Pakistan finished second and he was highest goal scorer), Omer a young and talented goal keeper who starred against Malaysia U-22 and Manzoor the u-16 cup winner are the likes of players who should be given international level tranings. Otherwise they will follow the footsteps of Kaleem and Jadeed.
PFF should make arrangements for polishing of these youngsters.If facilities are not enough in Pakistan then these youngsters should be sent to a youth setup of some good team like in europe or middle east.Why PFF doesn’t do this?
These youngsters are our future.We need to spent on them so that they can be world renowned.

THIS SHOULD BE THE TOPIC OF 2013
Yes!this is the point
MUBASHIR Rehamn Bhai thank you very much, i have been reading your comments in the past too, you ideas and thoughts are not bad, ANY WAY , THESE KIDS U14 ARE OUR PRIDE AND FUTHRE. INSHALLAH THEY WILL DO WELL AND SHUT THE MOUTH OF THE CRITICIZERS WHO WERE USE THE SAY THAT PAKISTANI LOCAL PLAYERS AND COACHES CANNOT PRODUCE GOOD RESULTS. NOW IT IS ENOUGH AND ALL THEY CAN SEE THAT THESE LOCAL PLAYERS AND COACH HAD DONE THAT. AND INSHALLAH PAKISTAN U14 WILL QUALIFY FOR U14 CHAMPIONSHIP MAIN ROUND, AND INSHALLAH IF DONE SO, THEN PAKISTAN U14 WILL CREAT HISTORY IN ASIA INSHALLH…….BEST OF LUCK PAKISTAN. BE PAKISTAN AND SING PAKISTANI AND RAISE PAKISTANI……….
dear aslam , i would argue here for the fact you asked the overseas paki to comment on the result, as much as u, am happy to see the result, and i want to see these eagles fly high, i wish and my prayers are with them, we will always encourage and critisze where it needs to be, as for as the current under age teams concerned? my dear friend, hardly 2 or 3 players will persuit their football future career, and out of these 2-5 wont make it either as the politics will jump in, again i love pakistan football and u wont believe it, i used play college level and followed pak football from US, when ever i saw the disapointing results, made me sad..and hence why i became coach..for pakistan..
Too nice to see this. Instead of becoming a good player, you can make 11 good players. Today we need goo coaches, we have enpugh pool of players waiting for good coaches.
R u in US now?
Well played youngsters.You made the nation proud.We have very high hopes from u inshallah you will qualify for the main round.Iranians are tough but not unbeatable,u can do it.
We know that Iranians are better but u are no less than a strong and competative opponent.U haven’t conceded even a single goal in the tournement.Play and enjoy your best game and inshallah the slot is ours.
Pakistan have bright chances of making it to the finals.WHat do u think the score will be against Iran?
By considering the recent performance of both the teams i think the game would be a high scoring one with Pakistan having an edge as they didn’t conceded even a single goal.On the other hand Iran conceded two goals.
My Predictions:Pakistan 3-4 Iran
Pakistan vs Iran 1-1 or 2-1 I will like to taste an upset win. they are so common in this UEFA Champions League too
well done team Pakistan, best of luck for your next match IRAN
Sorry It is Iran 3-0 Pak :-(
At least our youngsters performed brilliantly under difficult circumstances i-e having unsufficient facilities.If atleast little more is provided then the results can be improve in future.
Now all eyes on u-16 and u-19 qualifiers.Hope we manage it to the main round atleast in one catogary.
For the preparations PFF should contact QFF who recently offered to provide facilities to Pakistani players especially for u-19.
their could be a chance that a youngster for our squad is picked by some good club in Qatar
Very Very true. It will open a new era
