History

In 1976, the Quaid-e-Azam International Tournament was established in Pakistan to commemorate the centenary of the birth of Muhammad Ali Jinnah, the first leader of Pakistan, in which two Pakistan national teams would participate, the Pakistan national football team under the name of Pakistan Greens, and the national B team under the name of Pakistan Reds, captained by national team player Mujahid Tareen.[1] Although the team was only reserved for exhibition matches, in the next editions, the reserves team formally participated in the tournament under the name of Pakistan Blues in 1982, and Pakistan Whites in 1985, 1986 and 1987.[1][2][3]

Pakistan during the 1993 ECO Cup

In June 1993, the Pakistan Football Federation sent an alternate team, designated as "Pakistan A", to the 1993 ECO Cup held in Tehran, Iran, while the main national team was participating in the 1994 FIFA World Cup qualifiers. The ECO Cup took place from 6 to 14 June 1993, between two rounds of the group A qualifiers including Pakistan, held from 22–30 May (in Jordan) and 12–20 June (in China).[4][5] The ECO Cup squad was managed by a completely different coaching staff, with former international players Muhammad Latif and Abdul Ghafoor Ajiz at the helm, and captained by forward Lal Muhammad Lalo, while the main national team at the World Cup qualifiers was led by Muhammad Aslam Japani. Few players from that team such as Adeel Sarfraz Butt and Iftikhar Ghani were later selected for the second phase of the qualifiers in China.[6] At the inaugural 1993 SAARC Gold Cup held in Lahore, a second string team named Pakistan Whites also played exhibition matches against the national sides participating in the tournament.[7]
