Pakistan Flood
AFC President Mohamed Bin Hammam has pledged the confederation’s support to flood-hit Pakistan and expressed hope that the international community will continue aiding the South Asian country.

In a letter to the Pakistan Football Federation President Makhdoom Syed Faisal Saleh Hayat, the AFC Chief said: “As rescue and prevention efforts continue, allow me to express profound sympathy and sincere condolences to the people of Pakistan on my behalf and that of AFC.”

“What makes this unique is the scale of the disaster and its effect throughout the country,” Bin Hammam said.

He offered commensurations and condolences on massive loss of lives and colossal damage to properties and infrastructure and assured humanitarian aid to help deal with the disaster.

“Please rest assured that we stand ready to provide all the assistance PFF may desire.”

Hammam promised to involve football’s governing body in helping Pakistan during the crisis.

“I will follow the matter with FIFA and I pledge all possible support to you.”

“The scale of the devastation caused by the current flooding in Pakistan is staggering, and the resulting needs are daunting. It is imperative that your country receives the support of the international community.” (AFC)
