Azkals To Play Singapore!

Finally, the Azkals have a confirmed friendly match against a higher ranked opponent.

Singapore, one of the bastions of South East Asian football, has agreed to play the Azkals in Singapore on October 7, one of the days that Fifa has declared as Fifa match calendar days.

Match calendar days are days when football leagues around the world release players to their national teams. National teams can then schedule matches to earn Fifa points.

This means that players like Neil Etheridge, Stephan Schrock, Dennis Cagar, Paul Mulders and the other Azkals playing in Europe can come over to play.

Singapore is ranked 129th in the world while the Azkals are ranked 162nd.

Pakistan, ranked 170 in the world, is also offering to play the Azkals here as part of their bid for a higher ranking.
