Saudi Arabia invites Pakistan for women’s friendly in Qatar

The Saudi Arabian Football Federation (SAFF) has officially invited the Pakistan Football Federation (PFF) to a friendly match between their senior women’s national teams.

The SAFF proposed hosting the match between the Saudi and Pakistan Women’s Senior National Teams during their training camp in Qatar, scheduled within the upcoming FIFA match window from November 25 to December 7.

Saudi Arabia reached out to the PFF to finalize arrangements, offering to cover all expenses, including Pakistan’s travel and accommodation costs, according to sources.

Both teams, ranked 158th and 174th in FIFA’s women’s rankings for Pakistan and Saudi Arabia, respectively, are expected to hold a joint training camp in Qatar before the match.

The match will take place on December 7, 2024, in Qatar. The PFF, according to sources, has shown interest in the match, viewing it as an opportunity to provide more international exposure for Pakistan’s women’s squad.

The PFF has begun preparations and further details will be shared in due course.

Last year, Pakistan toured Saudi Arabia twice to play women football tournaments and displayed good results and significant improvements.
