Forward Sports - Brazuca

All these years, Pakistan has been well known for its cricket. Cricket has been the passion of every young blood and anyone who takes a walk around the streets of Pakistan could see cricket being played in every corner.

However, one growing phenomena in Pakistan is the craze of football. Football has never been our game and we do not even have a good football team to represent Pakistan on the international front, but somehow, the football fever has entered Pakistan and is growing day by day. We all know about football also known as soccer in some parts of the world.

The nation, ranked 159th by ruling body FIFA, won’t be among the 32 teams at sport’s most watched event. Yet its industry has recovered to join China as a key supplier of official Adidas AG (ADS) World Cup balls, such as those to be stroked around by stars such as Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.

More than 3,000 “Brazuca” balls will be used at the month long tournament starting June 12. That compares with millions of Adidas and other brands of ball produced annually by factories such as Forward Sports (Pvt) Ltd. in Sialkot, Pakistan’s main sports manufacturing center.

Businesses there say they’ve seen a resurgence of demand amid faster economic growth and as wages have become more competitive with China. Child labor, which had led foreign companies to leave the country, has been clamped down on.

Pakistan sports goods manufacturing company Forward Sports got the contract from Adidas to make “official FIFA World Cup 2014 Brazil” match balls.

Almost every child, every teenager, every youngster follows football now a days, in Pakistan too. It’s like, we hear the stuff related to football around us very often, and the ratio is increasing. We have Manchester United (Man U) fans, Arsenal fans, Liverpool fans, Chelsea fans (blues!), Real-Madrid fans (Madristas!), and the list goes on and on. What is all that?

Take for example, my application as a case of craze we share with the Football world - The countdown time, gallery items, posters, puzzle games, quiz, RSS news feeds, videos, youtube video channel, social media fan pages, messenger services, venue locations, and schedule finders - all built in one application.
