Palestine to face Tajikistan and India in June
Al-Fida'i will lock horns with pair of unfamiliar opponents in Dushanbe
Palestine will make their long awaited 2026 debut in Dushanbe, Tajikistan next month with a pair of friendlies.
Ehab Abu Jazar’s men were supposed to play a pair of March friendlies in Morocco against Benin and Mauritania but the Iran War rendered travel an impossibility.
The national team staff had cast a wide net and approached dozens of national teams in an attempt to schedule a friendly in the window but were ultimately rebuffed.
Qatar will play host to training camp that will involve the Qatar based players this week but more will join as the 2025/26 season draws to a close.
Palestine will play Tajikistan on June 1st and face India five days later. Palestine last faced Tajikistan in October 2018 while their last match against the Blue Tigers came back in 2014.
Palestine have never lost to either national team nor have they face either team in official competition.
