Administrator Karachi Dr. Syed Saifur Rehman said that National Games is a big sports event in Pakistan, all the teams prepare for these games throughout the year and their best players are brought to the field. Hard work always pays off. This time, Sindh athletes won a total of 43 medals, including four gold, 16 silver and 23 bronze medals, showing excellent performance in the National Games, which is a proud achievement and it is hoped that Sindh athletes will continue to win national level competitions in the future.

In the same way, they will continue to work hard to improve their performance, he said that the KMC is taking practical steps to promote sports activities at the level of the city. The recently held Karachi Games 2023 which included a record 42 games are a new chapter in our sports history in which nearly 6,000 men and women athletes participated with great enthusiasm. All sports associations and experts also provided full support to KMC for these games. He said that KMC has many sports stadiums and grounds which philanthropists and organizations would be welcome to run under their supervision.

He said that the increase in sports fields in Karachi is inevitable. We also lack the facility of indoor games and the opportunities for new sports are also less, so we have to make a concerted effort to promote sports activities for the youth so that the talented players emerging from the city level can participate in the provincial and national level.
