Why Do We Forget Our Own Heroes? #StandupforGreenBlazers

This past Saturday, the much talked about FIFA World Cup was unveiled in a grand event in Lahore.

The trophy was brought in a chartered jet with a set of famous celebrities,; Quratulain Baloch, Momina Muhtehsan, Cricketer Younis Khan and Former French World Cup winner Christian Karembeu. But wait where were the football players of our National team? Captain of Pakistan Natonal Team did make it to the list to all other celebs, but wasn’t there room for more footballers to represent their team at this big event?

Abiha Haider, midfielder for the Pakistan women’s national football team and Raheela Zarmeen, manager Pakistan national women football team and Balochistan United Women Football Club started a campaign #Standupforgreenblazer

Following is a note by Abiha Haider, voicing her concern and valid anger at not being given opportunity at this one event which was about football.
