repairs locally for the numerous damaged balls.
This led to the establishment of a prosperous sports
industry in the city of Sialkot, which produces 40 to 60 million footballs
annually. Accounting for 50 to 70% of all footballs produced worldwide. There
are more than 200 football factories in Sialkot.

footballs will be utilised in the competition. Even those Pakistanis who do not
enjoy watching football take pride in the latter. That has changed thanks to
the Adidas Telstar 18, the FIFA World Cup 2018's official match ball. Each

Pakistan, manufactures 700,000 balls for well-known companies all over the

The Khewra Mines in Pakistan, which produce 325,000 tonnes
of salt annually, are the second-largest salt mines in the world. The
second-largest mammoth salt mine in the world, the Khewra mines were discovered
by King Alexander's army when their horses began to lick the salt while their
soldiers slept. This amazing discovery included a unique mosque constructed
inside the mines and the second-largest salt mine in the world. A significant
tourist destination, the mines get 250,000 visitors annually.
According to experienced guide Abid Hussain, who has worked
in the mines since 1985, "almost one million visitors visit the mine
yearly." There is only a 200 rupee admission charge.
Previously, salt was harvested from the mine in three
shifts throughout the day, but owing to a manpower shortage, it is now only
possible to do so in two morning and evening sessions, according to Hussain.

Festival, which has been going on since 1936. Visitors from other countries
come to enjoy the diverse performances of dance, celebration, and folk music.
Historical Background
The Balti Raja of Skardu, Ali Sher Khan Anchan, who
constructed the Shandur polo field, is credited with establishing polo in Shandur.
However, the British occupants who made it feasible to construct the polo pitch
are to blame for the beginning of Polo in Shandur. According to legend, Niat
Qabool Hayat Kakakhel was commissioned by UK Administrator for Northern Areas
Evelyn Hey Cobb in 1935 to build a high-quality polo field in Shandur. He
enlisted the aid of the populace to build a polo field. Later, this polo field
was given the name "Mas Junali." The Khowar language is where the
term "Mass Junali" originates. Mas signifies the moon, while Junali
indicates the polo field.
Cobb wanted to thank Kakakhail for his assistance because
of his creativity and efficiency, but Kakakhail refused to accept any payment.
Instead, Kakakhail urged Cobb to bring fish to replenish the nearby waterways
for the benefit of everyone. Cobb sent live fish, which he had ordered from
England, into the Ghizer River. The Directorate of Fisheries was founded and
hundreds of people were engaged as a result of this service. Currently, the
fish in Hundarap Lake weigh 24 KG, while the fish in Baha Lake Khukush Nallah
weigh 40 KG.

making Pakistan country home to three world’s highest mountain ranges
comprising Hindukush, Karakoram, and the Himalayas mountain range, makes it an
attractive destination for adventurous mountaineers and tourists interested in
winter sports.
