Palestine coach Ahmad Alhasan invited Australia to visit the Palestinian territories for a rare and unlikely friendly set against the backdrop of Israeli occupation. Alhasan, in what is likely to be his final pre-match press conference as Palestine's Asian Cup hopes hang by a thread, said he made the offer to repay the hosts' hospitality. "As the coach of a team under occupation, this is an invitation to the Australia team to come to Palestine and to play with us in Palestine," he told reporters late on Monday.
