  1. Hi. Except for Tajikistan and Pakistan, what are the available opponents for Afghanistan on March 5? AFF is looking for a mid-level Asian country for a friendly match on March 5. Your advice is much appreciated.

    1. AFF have already chosen Pakistan. I consider Myanmar to be a better option.

  2. No, unfortunately, they have changed their plans at the last minute. Myanmar is also participating in the Challenge Cup, so neither of the teams want to play each other.

    I hope AFF can rearrange the match with Pakistan on March 5.
