The government’s vision is to develop a strong sporting culture in Pakistan and produce world-class athletes who can compete at the highest level.
To achieve this goal, the Pakistan Sports Board has been working hard to improve facilities and create opportunities for talented youngsters to showcase their potential. In recent years, we have seen a number of Pakistani athletes making waves at international competitions. This includes boxer Muhammad Waseem becoming World Champion in 2017, weightlifter Naveed Butt winning a bronze medal at the 2018 Commonwealth Games and bowler Hasan Ali becoming ICC ODI Player of the Year 2018.
These achievements are a testament to the talent that exists within our nation and with continued support from the government; we are confident that more Pakistani athletes will make us proud on the global stage!
