LAHORE, Pakistan — The Palestinian national football side is to tour Pakistan next month, an official said, as the hosts ramp up efforts to bring back international sport to a country plagued by terrorism. "Palestine's national football team is due to tour Pakistan and will play a two-match series and this series will help us revive international sport," Pakistan Football Federation president Faisal Salah Hayat told reporters. International teams have refused to tour Pakistan since gunmen attacked the Sri Lankan cricket team in Lahore nearly two years ago, killing eight people and wounding seven Sri Lankan players and their assistant coach. Pakistan has been forced to play its cricket series on neutral venues including England and the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Hayat said the Palestinian team will play in the eastern city of Lahore on February 27 and Karachi on March 2. "After the two-match series, Pakistan will tour Palestine in March where another two-match series will be played," said Hayat. Hayat told reporters on Sunday that Iran, Malaysia, Oman, South Korea and the UAE had also agreed to play Pakistan. "Hopefully Malaysia will tour Pakistan in March this year and we have a planned tour of South Korea in August-September this year and these series will help us prepare for 2014 World Cup qualifying rounds," said Hayat. Pakistan, ranked 171 in FIFA (International Football Federation) rankings, has never qualified for World Cup main rounds. Washington has called Pakistan's northwest tribal belt on the Afghan border the global headquarters of Al-Qaeda, and bomb attacks across the country have killed around 4,000 since July 2007.

Luckless Pakistan Drew Malaysia 0-0
Selangor, 9 March: Luck eluded Pakistan completely when they drew Malaysia 0-0 in London Olympics Football Qualifier at Punjab Stadium, Lahore. The result was not enough for Pakistan as Malaysia moved into next round with 2-0 on aggregate. It were Chaman-based front runners Jadeed Khan and Kalim Ullah who missed real chances throughout the 90-minute tussle but none of them besides Muhammad Adil, Rizwan Asif were able to get the breakthrough against sound keeper Khairul Fahmi Che Mat who was also Malaysian captain.
The chief guest was Federal Secretary Sports, Aziz Ahmed Bilour while Pakistan Football Federation (PFF)’s President Makhdoom Syed Faisal Saleh Hayat, Pakistan Sports Board D irector General Amir Hamza Gilani also watched the match.
Pakistan fielde Muhammad Omar as keeper in the match (replaced in 88th min by Amir Gul due ti injury) and once again he was active in keeping the Malaysian in check particularly their first leg scorer ar Shah Alam stadia Wan Zaharulnizam and Mohd Irfan Fazail.
Pakistan’s National team has FIFA World Ranking of 171 as compared to Malaysia’s 138,but the U21 team of Pakistan put up fine display and had to blame themselves for not reaching the Target of 3-0 win.
Tariq Lutfi-coached Pakistan were clearly better team in the Match but the poor finishing, at least six sitter, tarnished their image. He also asked new comer Rashid Ali, Asim Mansoor to try the luck but Pakistan failed to accomplish the task.
Malaysia, under Ong Kim Swee, and other ten winners from Round joined Asia’s 13 highest ranked teams Australia, Bahrain , China PR, North Korea, South Korea, Iraq, Japan, Lebanon, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Uzbekistan, Vietnam in the second round of Olympic Qualifiers scheduled for 19 and 23 June.The twelve winners from the second round will be drawn into three groups of four teams each, playing six matches from 21 Sep 2011 to 14 March 2012.
