This is great news. Pakistan has such high potential for football and creating football talent. I wish we'd invest in it, there is a lot more money to be made than in cricket!

Multi teir development is required.

1. coaching of school teams and having school based competitions within towns and regions.
2. Creating soccer academies. Full time boarding Schools which will take the best talent and provide them a proper education as well as professional level training. These kids hopefully will make our national team.
3. Running a professional league.

A lot of African countries are using steps 1 and 2 to create world class footballers. Their domestic leagues are rubbish, just like ours. In fact in Africa commercial academies are being created.
