AFC Challenge Cup 2012: Palestine To Play Friendly Match Against Azerbaijan In Dubai

Palestine FA said that they were planning to play friendly match against Azerbaijan in the last week of February in Dubai. 

The Palestine - which started training from Thursday-  is preparing for upcoming AFC Challenge Cup while Azerbaijan is looking to stay sharp ahead of UEFA World Cup qualification in September. 

Meanwhile, it is learned that Palestine Coach Jamal Mahmoud will feel pressure in the AFC Challenge Cup as it is looking unlikely that the side will have any of its foreign based players for the Challenge Cup except Omar Jarun.
