On Tuesday, Pakistan's football team made passionate appeals to their supporters, urging them to attend the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier against Jordan at the Jinnah Stadium on Thursday. The players emphasized the importance of home support for their performance.
Under the guidance of English coach Stephen Constantine, the national team has been training at the Jinnah Stadium for the past three days in preparation for the match, scheduled to kick off at 2 pm, despite being played during Ramadan.
Plans to install floodlights at the stadium ahead of the game, allowing it to be played at night after fasting hours, fell through. Nevertheless, the players are urging fans to turn up for the Group 'G' game against Asian Cup finalists Jordan.
Defender Rao Umar Hayat, in a video message, acknowledged the challenges of attending matches during Ramadan but expressed hope for a large turnout. He appealed to fans to come and show their support.
