LAHORE – Portugal’s Luis Figo and Brazil’s Kaka have vowed to help develop the “great promise” of football in Pakistan, a country obsessed with cricket and twice banned from international soccer.
The two legendary footballers are in Pakistan for a day-long visit as part of the World Soccer Stars (WSS) tour, aimed at grooming nascent talent through exhibition matches and coaching clinics.
The two former Real Madrid superstars landed at Karachi’s Jinnah International Airport and were welcomed with the traditional Sindhi Ajrak and Topi.
The administrative body of WSS has announced to conduct two matches in Karachi and Lahore. The event will be held between April 26 and April 29.
