Considering the large geography and limited budgets they could do multiple smaller leagues based on regional divisions and then playoffs with the winners hosted in 1 or 2 stadiums.

They really need to build something. The fact there is no news related to stadium infrastructure development is concerning.

They could atleast redevelop the stadium in Islamabad. It looks absolutely horrid.

Islamabad, Lahore, Karachi, Quetta, Peshawar should all have its own stadium. In the beginning the regional teams can play their matches there.

It's a shame the cricket stadiums can't be repurposed for football because that would have been the quickest and cheapest way.

I also think there's an opportunity to generate more funding through proper regulation of the online betting market. There are already plenty of betting platforms targeting Pakistani users, including sites such as https://1xbet-pk.com.pk/. Instead of leaving this market unregulated, the authorities could establish a clear licensing and taxation system, provided operators meet strict legal requirements. A share of the tax revenue could then go towards developing football stadiums, maintaining pitches and supporting regional leagues. It would be much better to see some of that money invested in local sports infrastructure rather than having the market operate without proper oversight.

Bd traditionally slightly stronger than Pk in football. Would you say that is still the case? Seems we have possibly closed the gap thanks to Solano.

Historically I think both teams have been pretty close, so I wouldn't say Bangladesh were always stronger than us. Bangladesh have had a better domestic football structure for years, while we barely had a functioning league.

But right now we are a much better, stronger and more balanced team than Bangladesh, especially with our full strength squad available. Solano has completely transformed us tactically and defensively in such a short time. We are far more organised now and have quality across almost every position.

We have already shown that we can compete against much stronger opposition, even while missing several key players. With our best diaspora players available, we have a much stronger defence, midfield and attack. I don't think Bangladesh are on our level anymore, and I believe the gap will only grow as Solano gets more time with the team.
