The Karachi Games 2023, which begin on March 3, will feature up to 42 different sports. Karachi Administrator Dr. Syed Saif-ur-Rahman stated that the games will strengthen Karachi’s soft image on both the local and international levels.
These games are being arranged with the help of Sindh Governor Kamran Khan Tessori and with the input of prominent players such as Shahid Afridi, Jahangir Khan, Sarfraz Ahmed, Rashid Latif, and others.
On Monday, he shared his thoughts with the media at the KMC Sports Complex. A media nook has also been established for journalists, where laptops, internet access, and other required resources will be accessible for comprehensive coverage.
He said that it is not usual to organize such large-scale games at the same time and arrange the participation of more than 5 thousand athletes in them.
He said that most of the sports competitions are being held at KMC Sports Complex, while about 20 percent of the competitions will be held at various other venues in the megacity, including cricket, hockey and football.
Administrator Karachi said that the players who are participating in the Karachi Games are regularly registered with the major sports associations of the city and all the participating players are playing with big clubs.
He said that there is no financial burden on the KMC regarding organizing the Karachi Games, as the major sponsors of the city are involved in the organization of the Karachi Games.
He said that these games have been organized in the past as well, but they were not organized on such a large scale. We are trying to organize better and different games on a larger scale in the future after the Karachi Games, he said.
He said that the complete schedule of the Karachi Games will also be released on the website while those youth and children who want to participate in the upcoming Karachi Games should get the form so that they can also get opportunities to play in the future.
