Pakistan versus Yemen qualifier postponed due to safety concerns

FIFA’s decision comes after bomb blasts and civil unrest in the Pakistani city, and following the AFC’s postponement of the Group B U-23 Championship qualifiers which were scheduled to be played at the same venue later this month.

A decision on a neutral venue and date for the rearranged game will be taken after discussion with the relevant parties and announced in due course.

Yemen are leading 3-1 from the first leg following last week’s victory in Doha.
