The Pakistan Football Federation (PFF) on Thursday announced a 23-member squad for the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Under-23 Asian Cup 2026 Saudi Arabian Qualifiers, which are scheduled to be held in Cambodia.
The squad coached by Nolberto Solano includes a mix of young and experienced players.
Last month, PFF appointed Nolberto Solano as head coach of Pakistan’s football team.
The decision was taken following a vote by the PFF Executive Committee in which seven of the thirteen members voted in favour of the appointment.
Solano replaced Stephen Constantine, who famously led the Pakistan team to their first-ever victory in a World Cup qualifier in October 2023.
For context, Pakistan will kick off its campaign in the qualifiers against Iraq on September 3, followed by a game against the host nation, Cambodia, on September 6.
The team will conclude the group stage with a match against Oman on September 9.
