Other positions: Left Winger, Attacking Midfielder
Again, not sure if we want to include this one. Any opinions? Would it entail adding much more matches? What is the status of these squads?
See 2005 Islamic Games article. Seems like a mix tournament of full and youth/B national teams until it became strictly u-23 from the next edition 2013. See the 2005 tournament brochure (page 17) stating there is no age limit.
For Pakistan I can fully confirm it was the full national team, and so was Malaysia as clearly the squad and coach is full strength, Malay press from 2005 also treat it as the national team

Display MoreMore evidence that the North Korean and also the Indonesian teams were not the national teams in this tournament. I believe therefore these matches should be removed from here.
- Pakistan vs. North Korea 1985-04-28
- Bangladesh vs. Indonesia 1985-04-28
- North Korea vs. Nepal 1985-04-29
- North Korea vs. Indonesia 1985-05-02
- Pakistan vs. Indonesia 1985-05-04
- North Korea vs. Bangladesh 1985-05-04
Apart from the obvious contradictions and evidence that I mentioned about North Korea in my previous thread, this page from a Bangladeshi magazine from 15 May 1985, shortly after the conclusion of this tournament explicitly states that only Bangladesh and Nepal (apart from Pakistan Greens) were the full national teams. And the North Korean and Indonesian teams were not.
Here is a local Indonesian website listing all matches from their A-team including non-FIFA matches against club sides or youth team. The fact that the Quaid Azam Cup matches don't appear on that list let us conclude that it was an understrength team present in Pakistan. The RSSSF list of Indonesia which also includes several matches against clubs or selected sides also omits these 1985 matches.
According to this Indonesian blog, it explicitly mentions that the Indonesian team participating in this tournament was the youth team, mainly consisting of the squad which won the 1984 Asian Schools Championship.
A follow up on this, I managed to get hand of the full lineups of Bangladesh vs the North Korean team (1985 Quaid-e-Azam International Tournament). Not sure if it's conclusive to determine the status of the North Korean side.
This UAE newspaper (page 15 top left) covers the full UAE lineup, which is incomplete here:
Pakistan lineup: Muhammad Munir, Aamir Mahmood, Naeem Khalid, Mohammad Tariq Hussain, Zafar Iqbal, Mohammad Khaled Khan, Haider Imran Bukhari, Shabbir Hussain, Abdul Majeed, Lal Muhammad
Note: The lineup mentions only 10 players, maybe the remaining player could be Haroon Yousaf who is already assigned for this match.
Correction: Azizi is Farooq Aziz
Some Pakistani players in the 1976 match between Pakistan and Afghanistan listed in RSSSF. Just like the Afghanistan players in 1976, these players can be pre-listed in advance from the RSSSF source.

Not sure if this has already been brought up here, but I think the Nepal "Red" vs Pakistan (and Nepal vs Sri Lanka) at the 2009 ANFA Cup deserve an inclusion here as Non FIFA matches. Pakistan and Sri Lanka were definitely the full national teams, and Nepal "Red" too as stated in RSSSF and evidenced by the (full string) players who played for the team. The matches are also included in Eloratings.
This also the same case as Pakistan Greens/Whites at the Quaid-e-Azam International Tournament, where Greens has been the full team, and as such their matches are included in NFT, and have been regarded as full internationals even in FIFA sources. This discussion in tapatalk regarding this Nepali tournament might be of interest.
