Pakistan’s most awaited soccer exhibition tour ‘World Soccer Stars’ is confirmed for 9th and 10th November 2019. The exhibition match on the 10th of November to be held at National Hockey Stadium Lahore will see local football players playing alongside the World Soccer Star legends.
For the very first time in Pakistan’s history, Pakistan’s talent will get the chance to play an exhibition match head to head with WSS legends. WSS ran a national talent hunt program to feature local players with World Soccer Star legends to help in uplifting their learning of soccer and inspire them to achieve more. The local talent was selected after conducting two months long trials all over Pakistan with a coordinated effort of Total Football. The Pakistani talent pool represents players from Quetta, Chitral, Gilgit, Faisalabad, Murree, Lahore and Islamabad.
The exhibition match is an effort to incorporate young talent in the WSS Tour and give them an opportunity of a lifetime playing alongside global football legends.
The star studded line up featuring Ricardo Kaka (Brazil), Luis Figo, (Portugal), Carles Puyol (Spain) and Nicolas Anelka (France) will see legends lock horns in a showcase exhibition tour. The selected players are excited to get this opportunity to play with the world’s best soccer stars. One of the players Moiz Sajjad stated,
“It is surreal to believe that football stars of this stature are going to be in Pakistan to play matches in Lahore and Karachi. After the trials we had eagerly been awaiting to get a chance to play in the WSS tour and I now that I am selected, it all seems unreal. This is an opportunity of a lifetime for all of us selected players that we will get to play in Team Kaka & Team Figo right here on our soil!”
