Haroon Malik, the chairman of the Pakistan Football Federation’s Normalisation Committee, held a meeting with the Denmark Ambassador to Pakistan H.E. Jakob Linulf on Monday.
During the meeting, the involvement of overseas players in Pakistan’s team and the possibility of future football exchanges were discussed.
The PFF is looking forward to strengthening the ties between the two nations on the field.
It must be noted that football enthusiasts in Pakistan may miss the opportunity to witness Pakistan's FIFA World Cup qualifier against Jordan on home turf, as the PFF has confirmed that Islamabad's Jinnah Stadium falls short of FIFA standards.
In a statement released last week, the PFF conveyed that it is actively exploring alternative venues to ensure the game takes place at a neutral location.
"In collaboration with the Pakistan Sports Board, the Pakistan Football Federation has been dedicatedly working on preparing Jinnah Stadium for the upcoming March match against Jordan, following the successful," PFF stated.
"Regrettably, despite our best efforts, the current standard of Jinnah Stadium does not meet FIFA requirements," it added.
The PFF highlighted a significant challenge related to lighting conditions, stating, "as the March game is scheduled to be held under lights and coincides with Ramazan, meeting FIFA’s lighting standards with the current setup has posed difficulties”.
Citing the January 21 deadline for venue submission and a commitment to upholding the game's integrity, the PFF affirmed its decision to explore alternative options.
"We will be in contact with the Jordan Football Association to discuss arrangements for a neutral venue for the home leg," the statement added.
