As football evolves into becoming the second-most watched sport in the world, there are now millions of fans in Pakistan supporting football clubs and national teams from all around the world. With screenings being held in several cities all around the country, it is safe to say that hundreds of people visit these events to support their favorite clubs and sport.
However, even though the number of fans in Pakistan keeps on increasing the actual condition of football in Pakistan is fragile. The government is unable to properly support Pakistan Football Association due to else-lying interest. Consequently, Pakistan’s national football team face a lot of obstacles in improving their ranking and quality of the team. Nonetheless, same cannot be said about the general public who supports football. A lot of potential is present among Pakistanis who actually want football to improve the condition of this sport and progress in this country.
