Media reports have indicated that the Palestine national team will play a friendly match against the Basque national team on November 15, at the San Mamés Stadium in Bilbao, the historic home of the Spanish club Athletic Bilbao.

The Basque national team is an unofficial team, representing the region and not participating in international competitions under FIFA, but it includes distinguished players who have previously represented major Spanish clubs, making the match a strong technical and testing challenge for the Palestinian team.

Notably, Palestinian defender Yasser Hamad Mayor, who was born in the Basque region and has previously played for the regional team, was one of the main reasons for coordinating this special friendly match, which holds great symbolism for him and the fans.

This encounter comes as part of Palestine's preparations for upcoming challenges, as the coaching staff aims to provide players with more exposure against distinguished European teams, in an effort to enhance their technical and physical readiness and strengthen the international presence of Palestinian football.
