On Tuesday, the Pakistan street child football team for the upcoming Norway Cup was unveiled.
The team consists of 14 members who will be representing Pakistan in the tournament, set to kick off on July 30 in Oslo, Norway.
Notably, Tufail Shinwari, who earned the title of the best player at the Street Child World Cup in Doha, Qatar, last year, is one of the players included in the squad.

On July 30, Pakistan’s first match in the Norway Cup will be against the Norwegian club Frigg Oslo.
Important to mention is that in the previous Street Child World Cup held in Doha, Pakistan’s team achieved the runners-up position. Throughout the tournament, they maintained an unbeaten record, but unfortunately, they lost the final to Egypt on penalties (4-3).
Furthermore, in the preceding editions of the Street Child World Cup, Pakistan secured the runners-up position in Russia (2018) and finished third in Brazil (2014).
It’s worth noting that Pakistan has never qualified for the FIFA World Cup, and their current FIFA men’s national team ranking is 201st.
