Arch Rivals India and Pakistan to play a three-match football series in England, from August 25 to lamps designed to tap into support among migrant supporters.

The games will be played in Manchester, Coventry and London, said the All India Football Federation (AIFF) said in a statement on Monday.

"The tour would provide the Indian and Pakistani nationals based in England to witness their native teams in action at the 'Home of Football'," said Ahmer Kunwar.

India and Pakistan are lowly foot balling nations but maintain a ferocious sporting rivalry in cricket and hockey.

Venues for the games have yet to be announced.

The last three-match football series between the two nations was in 2005 in Pakistan.
