Our friends at FootballPakistan.Com (FPDC) wrote a brilliant preview of the upcoming NBP National Football Challenge Cup 2011 that will be hosted by us here in Faisalabad between 14-27 April 2011.
The magic of cup football can see epic David beat Goliath battles. Minnows in 90 minutes can upset giants. A champion effort from one athlete can earn him glory over a more consistent adversary. This is the beauty associated with knock-out football that will be on show as the 21st NBP National Football Challenge Cup ’11 kicks off from the 14th of April, at the Manchester of Pakistan i.e. Faisalabad.
The Pakistani version of the famous English FA Cup through the 14th to the 27th of April will see the 15 top department football sides and the host team PMC Athletico Club Faisalabad fighting it out for the 2nd most coveted trophy in Pakistani football.
