Passion for Sports

Pakistan has a long sporting tradition. Various sports in Pakistan have had their heydays over the years, while others have suffered a drop in popularity for a variety of causes. Trends may have altered, but one thing stays constant: the Pakistani people's passion of sports. In recent years, there has been an increase in sporting activity in Pakistan, with Pakistani athletes competing in numerous national and international competitions. In addition, more international tournaments are now held in Pakistan.

The number of events and the size of the teams Pakistan sends to the Olympic Games, Asian Games, World Games, and Commonwealth Games has grown since the turn of the century. Pakistan has some of the world's most famous polo matches, which take place in Shandur, the world's highest altitude polo field. Whenever there is a cricket match, a kind of frenzy breaks out, putting the entire country in a festive atmosphere. Every time the Pakistani team scores, you will observe people dancing, listening to music, and jeering excessively.
