ENTRY DESCRIPTION
Footballs produced in this factory in Sialkot in Interior Sindh/Pakistan, are being used in international tournaments of FIFA or the German Federal League.

Naeem is proud of renowned international kickers playing footballs that were shaped through his hands. This photo was taken on the occasion of a visit of football factories in Sialkot in 2017.
