Cricket,
a Famous sport in Pakistan, is the most popular sport in the city. It
is played anywhere a city dweller will find a large piece of land. This
is known as Bat aur Gendh. It is played in the narrow by-lanes of the

brightly-lit night matches on less traversed city streets, disused
construction sites, parks and several grounds within the district. The
oldest and only venue for international cricket matches is Iqbal
Stadium. The Faisalabad Wolves, Faisalabad's local team, are based at
this venue and often regional matches are played throughout the spring
season which draws in plenty of crowds such as Twenty-20 Cup. The ground
also hosted matches for the 1987 Cricket World Cup as well as the 1996
Cricket World Cup.
Other
popular sports in the city are hockey, Weightlifting, association
football, Kabaddi, table tennis, billiards and snooker, squash,
and horse racing. Sports like badminton, volleyball and basketball have
also started to gain popularity as western influences have affected the
locals. Faisalabad also has its own team, called the PMC FC who take
part in the Pakistan Premier League. The Punjab Medical College has its
own stadium built within its campus to train and host matches for the
sport.
The
city also has facilities for hockey. The Faisalabad Hockey Stadium on

GET OUT OF FINANCIAL MESS WITH THE HELP OF drbenjaminfinance@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteI have been in financial mess for the past months, I’m a single mum with kids to look after. My name is REBECCA MICHAELSON, and am from Ridley Park, Pennsylvania. A couple of weeks ago My friend visited me and along our discussion she told me about DR BENJAMIN OWEN FINANCE of (drbenjaminfinance@gmail.com); that he can help me out of my financial situation, I never believed cause I have spend so much money on different loan lenders who did nothing other than running away with my money. She advised, I gave it a try because she and some of her colleagues were rescued too by this Godsent lender with loans to revive their dying businesses and paying off bills. so I mailed him and explain all about my financial situation and therefore took me through the loan process which was very brief and easy.. After that my loan application worth $78,000.00USD was granted, all i did was to follow the processing and be cooperative and today I am a proud business owner sharing the testimony of God-sent Lender. You can as well reach him through the Company WhatsApp +19292227023 Email drbenjaminfinance@gmail.com
