QUESTIONS OF FOOTBALL ... Palestine plays its first competitive match at home and made him 
Today, we play a game of "historic" for the first time, the national PNA (Palestinian National Authority), a dispute official match in the "territories" against Thailand , Olympic qualifier. It was called "Al-Faisal Husseini International Stadium, it is little more than a pitch with artificial grass in the midst of the concrete barracks in Al-Ram, near populous agglomeration in the Arab from Jerusalem. In this field, for the first time in its history, the Palestine National will play his first match qualifier for the Olympic Games in London in 2012. The sports facility is dedicated to Al-Husseini, a man in her life was a Palestinian leader in East Jerusalem, the founder of the General Union of Palestinian Students, many times Al-Husseini is "past" in Israeli jails, before become a leading figure in the peace negotiations. The former leader died in 2001 and considered a hero by all factions of the country. The game now is something more than just a sporting event, the six thousand seat stadium probably will not be enough to hold all the fans, yet he had done on this plant a few friendly games while the officers were going to play in Egypt or Jordan, sometimes even in Kuwait . Since the beginning, the history of the Palestinian National Authority has been problematic for the players to train and participate in tournaments they have need of visas and permits are often denied by the occupation authorities. For example, in 2007, the team decided to forgo a trip to Singapore (for the crucial qualifiers for the World Cup) because he had been denied visas to two players. Returning to the game today, we remember that the first leg, was played in Bangkok, the Thais won 1-0. This time you play a few hundred meters from the walls of Jerusalem, the emotions will be incredible for players of the Palestinian National Authority.
