In times of crisis, economic breakdowns, and disaster-stricken emotional turmoil for the country, the one thing that binds us better than anything is sports. It is the very nerve upon which the nation rejoices, the kids holler back into the streets and every fan finds his heart synced to cheer. With the world cup gaining ground as the most important highlight of 2022, how can we let Pakistan not be on the world stage, flaunting the passion and skill we bear? This is exactly why Proton Pakistan fully supported Pakistan’s Street Child Team for Football World Cup 2022 in Qatar. Proton Pakistan congratulates the Pakistani team for making the whole nation proud and plans to take more initiatives like this in the future.
