Islamabad, November 26,  2021:    As part of celebrating 70 years of diplomatic ties between Germany and Pakistan, the German Embassy held a Football tournament in Islamabad for underprivileged children and teenagers from the area of Islamabad.

Eight mixed teams competed throughout the day in a format of 7 vs 7 with a rolling substitute. Equipment for the players was sponsored by forwarding Sports.

The German Chargé d’affaires, Dr. Phillip Deichmann, said

Germany and Pakistan have been enjoying a strong and stable friendship over the last 70 years. This friendship lives most vibrantly through people-to-people interactions – the most diverse, the better! This is why I am thrilled that today we can engage with young people, especially those who don’t usually get to enjoy the limelight and play some football. It is Germany’s national sport, after all, and today’s enthusiasm on the field shows me that it is also quite popular over here.

The Football tournament ended with an award ceremony and was followed by dinner for everyone involved.
