Pakistan Football Federation president Syed Mohsen Gilani has congratulated the national men’s team on ending the long wait for a final berth in a stand-alone football tournament.
Nolberto Solano’s charges reached the final of the Diamond Jubilee Football Tournament in the Maldives with a 2-0 win over Afghanistan on Sunday, marking it the first time the national team has reached the final of a tournament since the 1962 Merdeka Cup.
“We have waited for this day for over six decades and I would like to congratulate our team for delivering a result that our fans have long been waiting for,” said Mr Gilani. “This is a sign of growth, hard work and dedication and we will continue to strive to ensure that results like these become the norm rather than an exception.”
