So it may surprise you if I were to say that Football is a very popular sport in the country of Pakistan and though it may seem the country lacks talent in this sport,it should be noted that this isn’t the case that one may think, rather Pakistan has a lot of talented footballers in the country who sadly do not have the chance to showcase there talents in front of the world due to the incompetent leaders in charge of this sport in the county. Current Pakistan is almost out of the international football map due to lack of opportunities being created by those in charge however the passion and enthusiasm of young footballers in the country still bring them with opportunities.
