Floodlight Problem ahead of Pakistan’s games
This will be a huge problem if not solved at the earliest. It has been found that there is inconsistent lighting near the goalposts. If the lighting issue is not resolved then the Pakistan Football federation will have to shift the game at a neutral venue.
The Pakistan Football Federation has written a letter to the Pakistan Sports Board regarding the issue. It remains to be seen when the issue will be resolved. Pakistan are slated to face Saudi Arabia on 6th June which will be followed by an away trip to Tajikistan.
