It has mentioned that the Palestine Football Association (PFA) has sent a formal request in this regard. &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The AFF has expressed profound optimism about this letter proving Afghanistan&rsquo;s mettle in football. It went on to say that the move, if materialized, would not only enhance bilateral sports ties between the two nations, it would also lift Afghanistan&rsquo;s image in sports. Palestine&rsquo;s request to play their international matches in Afghanistan has come at a time when Afghanistan itself is hosting its international matches in neighboring Iran. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The AFF has confidently expressed its willingness to host Palestine&rsquo;s international encounter against Syria in Kabul.<\/p>\n<p>It is vital to note that it was 2012 when last time Afghanistan hosted an international football match. In this match against Pakistan, the home team emerged victorous with a 3-0 score.<\/p>\n<p>ENDS<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Palestine has approached Afghanistan for hosting their international match against Syria. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":81891,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[84],"tags":[93],"class_list":["post-81890","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-sport","tag-english"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/swn.af\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/81890","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/swn.af\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/swn.af\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/swn.af\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/swn.af\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=81890"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/swn.af\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/81890\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/swn.af\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/81891"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/swn.af\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=81890"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/swn.af\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=81890"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/swn.af\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=81890"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
