Indian, Egyptian expats to meet on football pitch

Indian, Egyptian expats to meet on football pitch To demonstrate their support for the National Sports Day, a team of the Qatar Indian Football Fraternity (QIFF India) will meet an Egyptian XI in a football match to be played at Qatar Sports Club tomorrow. The match is being organised by the Qatar Sports Club.
The National Sports Day was celebrated across the country yesterday.
The kick-off of the exhibition match, sponsored by Doha Bank, is at 6 30 pm.
QIFF India officials said though their opponents are a very strong team, it is a rare opportunity for their players to play against a stronger team of Doha-based Egyptian players.
Since the QIFF team was constituted on a short notice following an appeal made to the team management by Qatar Sports Club officials, they could mobilise only players who took part in the successful Qatar Kerala Inter-District Football Tournament held more than two months ago at Doha Stadium.
“We know it well that there are many others who play football in the Indian community but we did not get enough time to contact those players,” said QIFF general secretary Abdul Rahman Hassanar.
A QSC official said the match was scheduled for tomorrow owing to the convenience of players and football fans in both the expatriate groups.
The QIFF has made arrangements to transport football fans to the venue of the match from such locations as Al Attiyah Market, Safari Mall, Ali International Trading Establishment (Industrial Area), Town Centre Bin Omran, Dasman Centre Airport Road and Shalimar Restaurant,also on Airport Road.
