The arrival of the Brazilian mid-fielder and former Portuguese captain is part of the World Soccer Stars initiative that intends to improve football in Pakistan. As per reports, the duo will make special appearances in Karachi at The Pearl Continental, followed by a grand finale fan experience in Lahore at The Packages Mall.

“I am delighted to visit Pakistan and play an instrumental role in promoting and helping football in the country. I have never been to Pakistan so I am really excited to come and play football whilst helping unearth hidden talent,” said Kaka.

Figo shared the enthusiasm with his fellow mate saying, “It’s exciting to see another emerging country in Asia embrace football,” he said. “I’m certain in a population of 220 million, there must be huge potential waiting to emerge into the international scene.”
