🇵🇰 Etzaz Hussain Cleared by FIFA to Represent Pakistan

Pakistan football has received a major boost ahead of the big clash against Afghanistan. FIFA has officially cleared midfielder Etzaz Hussain to play for the national team.

The 32-year-old Norwegian-Pakistani footballer will now be eligible to make his debut for Pakistan in the AFC Asian Cup Qualifier against Afghanistan this October at Jinnah Stadium, Islamabad.

Long Wait Finally Over

Hussain’s eligibility has been a hot topic among fans for years. Now, with FIFA’s approval, Pakistani football supporters will finally see him in action wearing the green shirt.

European Experience Comes to Pakistan

Hussain has played for top Norwegian club Molde FK, winning four league titles and three domestic cups. He has also represented Norway at youth levels but never played for the senior team. His experience from European football is expected to add much-needed strength and creativity to Pakistan’s midfield.

PFF’s Diaspora Strategy

The Pakistan Football Federation (PFF) has been working to bring overseas Pakistani talent into the squad. Hussain’s arrival is seen as a big success for this strategy and a new chapter for the national team.

Big Game Ahead

The upcoming match against Afghanistan is more than just a qualifier. It’s a regional rivalry that fans in Pakistan, Karachi, Lahore, and across the country are eagerly waiting for. Hussain’s inclusion makes this clash even more exciting.

For football lovers, October’s match will be historic as one of the most anticipated players finally takes the field for Pakistan.
