FIFA Coaching Instructor Holger Obermann,72, who will be conducting Football for Hope Clinics III in the earthquake affected areas of Pakistan under Football for Hope Program, opened the two-day Clinic at Rawalakot on Tuesday.
FIFA Assistant Development Officer Mohsen Gilani and PFF Co-ordinator Akhtiar Ullah are assisting the German coach in the third edition of Football for Hope Clinics.
According to the information provided by Pakistan Football FA, FIFA earlier despatched Holger Obermann to Pakistan in Aug-Sep 2006 and Feb-March 2007 - making it three times in 26 months. The earthquake that hit northern areas of Pakistan and parts of Azad Kashmir on 8 October 2005, claimed more than 75,000 lives.
The German-based coach oversaw a programme of Football Clinics offering a new perspective on the future to young people affected by the Earthquake 2005. The social dimension of the game in emerging and conflict-ridden countries has long been a key priority for FIFA.
