The 1985 Quaid-e-Azam International Tournament was the third edition of the Quaid-e-Azam International Tournament. The event was held at the Qayyum Stadium in Peshawar, Pakistan.
The third Quaid-e-Azam International Tournament in Peshawar began on 28 April 1985. Pakistan fielded two teams; Pakistan Greens which was the national team, and Pakistan Whites which was the B team. Among the remaining participants, only Bangladesh and Nepal fielded their senior national teams. North Korea was represented by a different squad, as their main national team was competing in the 1986 FIFA World Cup qualification, while the Indonesia Youth team consisted mostly of the squad which clinched the title at the 1984 Asian Schools Championship in New Delhi.
The tournamentâÂÂs first hat-trick came in the North Korean teamâÂÂs 8âÂÂ1 win over Nepal, with the Koreans leading 6âÂÂ1 at halftime. Forwards Choy Jae Pil and Kim Kwang each scored four goals, while NepalâÂÂs only goal came from Gyani in the 43rd minute. In another match where Indonesia Youth beat Pakistan Whites 2âÂÂ0, Pakistan Whites goalkeeper Jahangir had notably saved a penalty, but Indonesia scored through Noach Mariem and Theodorus Bitbit in the 14th and 19th minutes of the first half. Pakistan Whites captain Mehmood made several attempts to score, but his efforts failed to materialise.
The North Korean side clinched the title with a 1âÂÂ0 win over Bangladesh, thanks to a second-half free-kick goal by Nam in the 50th minute. Indonesia Youth took third place by defeating Pakistan Greens 3âÂÂ1.
Following the tournament, the North Korean team played three exhibition matches across Pakistan. In the second match, they beat PFF XI 4âÂÂ0 in Rawalpindi in a match attended by President Zia-ul-Haq, with two goals from Kim Kwang, and one each from Chung Sok Jo Won, and Kim Gung Choi.
