Sports equipment company Forward Sports has made the training balls for the World Cup in Qatar and 60,000 high-quality replicas of the match balls to give Pakistani presence in the soccer event.
Forward Sports is one of two manufacturers of Adidas' Al Rihla, the official World Cup ball.
Forward Sports Director Hassan Masood Khawaja said the balls they manufactured in Sialkot, Pakistan are used by the teams as they train in Qatar, and are sold to football enthusiasts worldwide.
The rest are sold as lower-priced leisure and souvenir balls.
Meanwhile, the match balls are made in China.
Pakistan is one of the world's biggest manufacturers of soccer balls, along with China and India.
According to the local chamber of commerce, over 43 million balls valued at $191 million were made in Sialkot in the 2021/22 financial year.
About 8 percent of Sialkot's population of around 1 million people work in the industry, but many say they have little time to see their product in action.
