The Pakistan street child football team will begin the training camp in Islamabad on July 21 to participate in the upcoming Norway Cup 2024 — the largest tournament in the world for people between 10 and 19 years old.
The training camp will take place at the Sports Complex in Islamabad from July 21 to 25 where the final squad for the Norway Cup will also be decided.
The administration of the Pakistan street child football team already organised trials all over the country where thousands of players took part.
The Norway Cup will begin in Oslo on July 27 and continue until August 3. This will be the fifth time that Pakistan will participate in the event. They finished second in 2015 and 2023, and third in 2016.
It must be noted here that the Pakistan team finished runners-up in the Street Child World Cup in Doha, Qatar in 2022. They remained unbeaten throughout the tournament but lost the final against Egypt on penalties (4-3).
They were also the runners-up in the previous edition in Russia (2018), meanwhile, in Brazil (2014) they finished third.
It is worth mentioning that in Norway Cup 2023, Pakistan lost the final on penalties 10-9 against Sola FK. They were undefeated throughout the tournament and defeated all the teams they faced by big margins.
Pakistan scored a total of 28 goals in Norway Cup 2023 and conceded only three and proved that they are capable of not just winning the matches, but winning them with a high score line.
With impressive display in the last edition, once again, a great campaign can be expected by the Pakistani team as they would be eager to lift the title after coming so close last year.
