KARACHI: Pakistan football captain Saddam Hussain has said he is excited to meet Brazilian star Ricardo Kaka and Portuguese legend Luis Figo, who reached Karachi earlier today to formally launch World Soccer Stars event.
“I am excited to meet Kaka and Figo today,” an ecstatic Hussain told Geo.tv.
The 25-year-old further shared that he will be presenting the national team jersey to the football stars. “The reason why I want to present them [Kaka and Figo] with the national team jersey is because it has Pakistan’s flag on it,” Hussain said.
The duo are making a special appearance at Karachi’s Pearl Continental, after which they will visit Lahore for another press conference. The stars, who will be promoting World Soccer Stars during their visit to Pakistan, were welcomed at Karachi's Jinnah International Airport with the traditional Sindhi ajrak and topi.
The event is being organised by TouchSky Group who hopes that the visit of the legendary duo will help portray Pakistan’s softer image to the rest of the world.
