Footballers Kaka, Figo to land in Pakistan today

Football stars Ricardo Kaka and Luis Figo are all set to arrive in Pakistan today to take part in the launch of World Soccer Stars event.

Hello Pakistan! I’m on my way. Looking forward to spend a few days with you guys.

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. Earlier, the Brazilian mid-fielder and former Portuguese captain even greeted Prime Minister Imran Khan in a video message on Twitter.

“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.”
