Zurich: The 2018 World Cup qualifier between Pakistan and Yemen will be played in the Bahraini capital Manama on March 23, world football's governing body FIFA announced on Wednesday.

The original game set for Tuesday in Lahore had been postponed following bomb blasts in the Pakistani city on Sunday which killed 14 people and wounded 70 when two Taliban suicide bombers attacked churches, sparking mob violence in which two other suspected militants died.
