  • A Model Football Academy for Residents of Lyari Town, Karachi, Sindh, Pakistan
    A MODEL FOOTBALL ACADEMY FOR RESIDENTS OF LYARI TOWN, KARACHI, SINDH, PAKISTAN Dr. Syed Arif Kamal, Shahid Ali Khan, Dr. Soniha Aslam ABSTRACT This paper reviews and analyzes factors contributing to the rise and the fall of football game in Lyari Town. This town has the passion and the talent for football, which should be groomed to produce international players. A model football academy on the pattern of Grêmio (Brazil), Altınordu (Turkey), La Masia (Spain) and INF Clairefontaine (France) is proposed with football- oriented curriculum and international-level-football-training facilities on a green campus. The players are to be inducted at the age of 5 years after rigorous psychological and physical examinations as well as fitness testing. They study and play football here till they pass their Higher Secondary Certificate Examination. Measures are suggested for safety and security at campus as well as use and abuse of controlled substances. A survey was conducted to obtain opinions of footballers, coaches and general public in order to determine causes of decline of football in Lyari. The questionnaire was divided into 3 parts — lack of physical resources, noises influencing football game and shortage of human resources. The responses were indicative of the community‟s strong feeling that Lyarites can become international- standard footballers, if they are given the infrastructure and the facilities combined with motivation to achieve distinction. The proposed football academy should be the first step to change mindset of Lyarities from indulging in drugs and crime to healthy sport activities. Keywords: physical examination, psychological examination, sport-centered curriculum, talent hunting, vitamin-D deficiency Abbreviations FIFA: Fédération Internationale de Football Association • PFF: Pakistan Football Federation • SPSS: Statistical Package for the Social Sciences • WADA: The World Anti-Doping Agency.

Based on the guidance of players and coaches this paper summarizes the present situation of the football players of Pakistan with detailed data.

He felt dismayed at the prospects of inviting international players after the country’s track record of security and terrorism. Feeling nostalgic about the cricket in Pakistan, Sethi went through the PCB’s documents and shockingly discovered that PCB is generating no revenue like it used to do until 2009. He was well aware of the fact cricket is the sport that is Pakistan’s blood, and every nook and cranny is yearning for live cricket in Pakistan—comparing it with other countries like India, where IPL generates staggering revenues and proved the bordering country with amazement and thrill every year. Indians remain excited that the IPL will continue every year and they will witness the spectacle of deadly yorkers and loft sixes very soon. Sethi feels every other cricket- loving nation have their own leagues like County Cricket, Big Bash League, Sri Lankan Premier League, Caribbean Premier League, etc.
