KARACHI: The US Consulate General Karachi partnered with Wish Foundation for a Sports Diplomacy soccer event, to help the young soccer players prepare for an upcoming Lyari Super League tournament in November.

As many as 30 young Pakistani players, selected from various soccer teams in Lyari, came to the Consulate to scrimmage and practice with American diplomats and Marines, trading tips and learning together from each other.

The workshop culminated with everyone playing 3 games with mixed teams, while learning about team-building, decision-making, and fair play.

Cultural Attaché Susan Ross welcomed everyone, thanking them for their participation and emphasizing the goal of sports diplomacy events such as these, to help develop youth and promote cultural exchanges of all kinds.—PR
