#2 Pakistan connection in the World Cups.
You heard it right Pakistan does have a connection to the World Cups. Pakistan Football Team does not have a lot to offer in the World Cup as they are at the bottom in the FIFA rankings. Pakistan manufactured soccer balls have been used in the World Cups since the 1982 World Cup. Moreover, nearly half of the World Cup balls are manufactured in Pakistan.
Sialkot a city in Pakistan produces 40% of the Worlds soccer balls with over 100 firms working there.
In British colonial time around 1889, a British Sergeant got irritated because of the late shipments of the soccer balls so asked a saddlemaker to repair a punctured soccer ball and he was so impressed by the result that they started giving them a batch of balls to be made. From there it just took on!
