Sadly the only future in football for Pakistani origin players is in Europe and not in our homeland. The love for this game has reached immense level in the country but the hindering facilities block any talent we may have. Hope that changes one day and soon

“How Etzaz has not come on the radar of Pakistan’s football authorities and specifically the country’s Serbian coach Zavisa Milosavljevic, who has shown great affinity towards the induction of overseas talent, remains a mystery”

Oh we knew about Etzaz many many years ago when he was still a trainee at Manchester United Academy! But problem was he was already playing for Norway’s youth teams and he had his sights for the Norwegian senior team, plus Norway’s rather cumbersome citizenship laws meant it could be problematic to convince him to play for Pakistan!

hes not been called up by Pakistan because he is part of norway u21 side that qualified for u21 european championships..he seems to have better future prospects.

Why would he chose his country of origin over European football, try being sensible than the regular emotional.
