Armaghan Khan is a Pakistani national and professional football player and has played for Huma football club for several years in Islamabad, Pakistan. Now Armaghan Khan has set his eyes on a move to professional clubs abroad. Unfortunately, a country with hidden gems and extreme raw talent in football has failed to create a name for itself in the football world. Armaghan Khan is working hard to achieve his dreams of playing for major clubs around the globe and is on a mission to create history and glory for his home country Pakistan.
Pakistan is a country with around 220+ million population. It is the world's fifth-most populous country and the second-largest in South Asia by area. It is a country with sports-loving people, full of potential and raw talent. Pakistan, where cricket is considered popular, is played all around the country. People have also seen Pakistan participating in multiple cricket world cups.
Yet people might not know that Pakistani people also play sports other than cricket. For instance, Hockey is the national game of Pakistan. Surprisingly, a country ranked 195th in the FIFA men ranking had 3 million footballers according to a survey in 2006 by FIFA, bringing the country to the top 20th with the most players. We are sure that this number has significantly increased in 17 years. Football in Pakistan, is a passion and loved by many, in fact, played in all four provinces, AJK and Gilgit Baltistan. However, the sports industry in Pakistan makes up about 70 percent of the footballs used in the world and also contributes to around 1.52 percent of the GDP. The sports industry in Pakistan sells its footballs and other sports goods to world-top brands like Nike, Wilson, Puma, and Adidas.
