Karachi will see a brand new sports arena landscape in its skyline, which will not only offer FIFA international playing conditions but will also offer an enduring football experience for fans and players with a raft of marketing and technology opportunities for brands.
Speaking on the occasion, NED University Vice-Chancellor Dr. Sarosh Hashmat Lodhi said: “It is a vision that only GSV can bring to life. I have seen the science and evolution of football on offer, and it will be a major transformation for football in Pakistan”.
Meanwhile, GSV Chairman Yasir Mahmood said: “It is time Pakistan rediscovers itself in football infrastructure offering the much needed professional and world-class facilities.”
Shedding light on the development, former English footballer Michael Owen, who is also the ambassador of the Pakistan Football League, said there is nothing more important than having a home and away fans in football stadiums.
“This investment will not only ignite inter-city football rivalry but will also become the future of football development all over Pakistan with sports science at the forefront offering international opportunities,” he said.
A detailed press announcement and the reveal of Pakistan’s first-ever soccer city will be made by the end of January by Owen with the very first images and 3D virtual video of the stadium being unveiled as a new year’s gift to Pakistan.
