Pakistan coach Stephen Constantine provided an update about diaspora players joining the squad ahead of clash against Jordan this month during the ongoing FIFA World Cup 2026 Qualifiers.
Pakistan will face Jordan on March 21 at the Jinnah Stadium in Islamabad.
“Four to five players are currently playing in foreign leagues and they will join the squad soon for Jordan clash,” Constantine said while speaking to media on Saturday in Lahore during the ongoing training camp of the Pakistan football team.
Constantine also stated that Pakistan has “no chance of qualifying” for the next FIFA World Cup.
“The players are working really hard but I’m not satisfied with team’s performance,” he added.
The 61-year-old also said that Pakistan desperately needs a “proper domestic league” in order to unearth new talent.
The preliminary squad has already been announced but the final squad, which will also include overseas players, will be announced later.
Captain Easah Suliman is also set to make a comeback in the squad after recovering from injury.
After the home clash on March 21, Pakistan will travel to Jordan for the away fixture on March 26 during the ongoing second round of the FIFA World Cup 2026 Qualifiers.
Pakistan are at the bottom of the points table in Group G after losing their first two matches against Saudi Arabia and Tajikistan.
