PFA announce Syria friendlies

After failing to arrange friendlies over the FIFA International break (November 11-14th) with India and and Iraq the PFA has secured friendly dates against Syria ahead of next month’s WAFF Championship. Palestine will play Syria twice in the Jordanian capital of Amman on November 17th and 20th. The national team met for a brief training session yesterday under the auspices of assistant manager Ahmad El-Hassan as visa issues have prevented Jamal Mahmoud from crossing the border.

Sixteen WBPL players attended the training session. Among them were four players who earned their first ever invite to the national team: Bahaa Dhiab, Jehad Rabie, Mahmoud Salah, & Raed Jebareen. No word yet on whether more players will be added to the squad, but the conspicuous absence of forwards seems to hint more players will join the fold. [EDIT: Khaldoun Al-Halman has been called up taking the total number of players in the squad to 17]
