The Official Palestine Football Thread [R]

No, I'm Norwegian

 

Why so interested in Palestine ?

 

Palestinian football *

 

Not just Palestine football , I follow all Asian NT`s


Any update about the May`s tournament ?

 

Yup, it seems that it is the Iraqi Kurdistan that will participate, not Iraq.

 

Group A :

Palestine (NT)
Vietnam (U19)
Sri Lanka (NT ?)
Pakistan (U22)

Group B :

Uzbekistan ( U22 ?)
Kurdistan
Indonesia (NT)

Group C :

Tunisia (U20)
Mauritania (NT)
Jordan (U22)

The tournament opened up with a 2:0 victory for Palestine over Vietnam.

Does anyone know the Pakistan - Sri Lanka result?

 

Match was cancelled. Uzbekistan withdrew from tournament.

Sri Lanka moved to group C.

Mauritania moved to group B and play Indonesia and Kurdistan

 

Can't see any sense in moving Sri Lanka to C and Mauritania to B, all they had to do was move Sri Lanka!

 

It's hard getting results for the Nakba Tournament, but footballpakistan has the game between Pakistan and Vietnam as 0:0

It also looks like we have had Iraqi Kurdistan 3:1 Mauritania and Tunisia 2:0 Jordan

 

Palestine VS Tunisia tomorrow in the final..

 

Hey I was wondering if anyone here has followed FC Edmonton's Yashir Pinto? He's a 21 year old Chilean with a Palestinian grandparent (which to my understanding would qualify him to play for Palestine). He represented Chile's U-20 side scoring 8 goals in 24 appearances.

I doubt he'll be accepting a call-up from Palestine any time soon, but unless he turns out to be a late-bloomer I don't think he quite has the quality to be a regular player for Chile's senior team. I think he could be a good long-term prospect for the Palestine NT.

 

Fwiw, Yashir has a younger brother who plays D2 ball in Chile: Ahmed (Pinto).

 

@(De La)Redstriker06 do you know if there will be a 2013 Al Nakba International Tournament?

With the Challenge Cup just around the corner, your thread needs to be bumped up. Do you happen to know who among the Palestinian Abroad contingent will be available for the Challenge Cup? I have seen some good players mentioned here as well as in your blog, but it seems that everyone is expecting that many of these players will not be available.

BTW, apparently Palestine's coach turned down a pretournament friendly with the Philippines in May. It would have been a good practice game to gauge each team's preparations for the Cup.

Hopefully you can get all your players in Palestine released for the tournament. I have read that one of them got detained by the IDF. It must be difficult to plan for games when situations like these happen. Hopefully everything gets sorted out. Good luck to your team.

 

Thanks for the reply. The Philippines is in the same situation with 2 players abroad who probably would have started(Cagara and Patino), still having ongoing league schedules during the tournament. Many of the others will be arriving just a few days before the tournament starts. We will have to depend upon the cooperation of their clubs to get them released.

 

Which players are they?

 

Just added above, Dennis Cagara and Javier Patino still have ongoing schedules.

BTW, since I noticed you live in Montreal which is a hockey hotbed, I would like you to know that I am a big Detroit Redwings fan. It must be difficult for your MLS team, the Impact, to play second fiddle to the storied Montreal Canadiens.

 

Palestine into top 10 in AFC!
great improvement on the back of winning the Challenge Cup.

Will Palestine call up overseas based players that were not part of the Challenge Cup squad for the Asian Cup 2015

 

Alexis Norambuena and Daniel Kabir Mustafa will be present. A new addition might be Imad Khalili aswell

When will the Palestinian national team start their training camp for the Peace Cup in the Philippines which will start in early September and will they be bringing their full(or close to) full team?
