New Delhi, Aug 10 - Palestine's decision to send the Jerusalem Elite team for the Nehru Cup football tournament has put the All India Football Federation (AIFF) in a fix after it had rejected Thailand's entry of its under-19 team as only national teams are permitted to play.

With the draw of the tournament already made public, the AIFF is now again facing a similar situation as they have to decide whether they would allow a city team, Jerusalem Elite team, to take part in the six-nation tournament. Palestine was a last minute replacement for Thailand for the tournament starting Aug 19.

Palestine Football Association (PFA) general-secretary Sami Makkawi told IANS over phone from Ramallah that the Jerusalem Elite team is their second string national team.
