New-look Pakistan are making up for lost time with British-born footballers

The Pakistan national football team is experiencing a resurgence, particularly with the inclusion of British-born players who are helping elevate the team's performance in the 2026 Asian Cup qualifiers. After years of stagnation due to various challenges, including political issues and international bans, both the men's and women's teams are now gaining momentum. The women's team, in particular, is making significant strides after a long hiatus, showcasing the potential for growth in Pakistani football. This development is crucial as it not only boosts the sport's profile in the country but also inspires a new generation of players.
