World Cup football

From the Newspaper Published October 8, 2018

TELSTAR 2018 — the official football for the World Cup — made the nation proud. I am astonished to learn that we cannot buy this ball in Pakistan, for the company is not selling this product in the open market.

I wanted to buy one for my children, for they were jubilant to know about this ball is being made in Pakistan.

I urge the manufacturing company to extend its sale to their own people. If there are copyrights issues, those can be settled by taking some measures. But the people of Pakistan should be given an opportunity to enjoy their own football.
