Pakistan are targeting British talent to boost their national teams.
The Pakistan Football Federation (PFF) will be conducting trials in northern England on Sunday and Monday to scout out British Pakistanis who are eligible to play for the national team.
"They are a lot of players of Pakistani origin in England, Ireland, Wales and Scotland who are interested in playing for their mother country. We are giving them a chance to play for their country." Saleh Faisal Hayat, the PFF President said.
Pakistan are currently 176th in the FIFA world rankings and have never qualified for the Asian Cup or the World Cup.
"We want to utilise the skills of such players as obviously the level of football competition and quality in the UK is much higher than ours," added Hayat.
