Russia to use Pakistan's footballs in 2018 world cup

[BHarwana]

When millions of football lovers cheer on their favourite teams at the 2018 FIFA World Cup to be held in Russia this summer, Pakistanis will have a special reason to rejoice, although the 198th-ranked football nation will not be participating in the mega event.

Pakistan's famous footballs will be used in the World Cup matches, making over 200 million Pakistanis feel their presence in the event.

Russian Ambassador to Pakistan Alexey Dedov confirmed earlier in the week that his country was going to use Pakistan-made footballs for the World Cup matches.

Located on the outskirts of northeastern Sialkot city, workers at a local sports company - which is a contracting manufacturer of global sports brand Adidas - are working extra hours to ensure on-time delivery of the footballs.

The city, which borders India, has been famous for producing finest quality sports goods and has been supplying footballs for mega events for a long time.

Forward Sports, which also makes footballs for the German Bundesliga, France Ligue 1 and the Champions League, was also the official football provider of 2014 World Cup in Brazil.

"This is an honour for us, that we are going to provide footballs for the world cup once again. We are very excited to meet this challenge," Khawaja Masood, the chairman of the company, told Anadolu Agency.

Refusing to give the exact numbers of footballs the company is going to supply for the World Cup alone due to restrictions from Adidas, Khawaja said his firm produced a total of 700,000 footballs a month.

The football that will be used in the upcoming tournament is technically termed as thermo bonded, which was first introduced in the 2014 FIFA World Cup.

Before that, Pakistan had supplied hand stitched football for almost all the World Cups from the 1990s to 2010.

Other types of footballs produced in Sialkot are glued balls and hand stitched balls.

Thermo bonded balls are made by attaching the panels through heat - the latest technology adopted by Adidas and transferred to Forward Sports in 2013.

"Although Pakistan football team will not be participating in the forthcoming World Cup, its presence will be felt in all the matches [because of the balls]," Khawaja told Anadolu Agency.

According to Husnain Cheema, president of the Pakistan Sports Goods Association, the country will export around 10 million footballs across the world this year.

export around 10 million footballs across the world this year.

Fantastic stuff. This is what could make Pakistan great. If this can be replicated to other industries. Wow !

There many industries in Pakistan that are doing very good in the world. Like the surgical instruments industry and many more that are know for their quality around the world.

Sadly very few, too few. Pakistan is a 200 million prople country with export industries expected a of a small European or east Asian city.

Like the surgical instruments industry and many more that are know for their quality around the world.

I know but these are too few and too insignificant. And they have been around for decades. No new ground has been broken.

Because for decades we have been an agricultural economy and the time when the industrial revolution started the energy crisis was thrown onto us like nuke. But this year is going good because of wheat and rice export is also going well. Textile also saw an up lift. as well. One sector that fueled Japans economy was the Marble and Granite sector and Pakistan is heavily neglecting it as this sector has great potential.

 

[Indus Pakistan]

Because

I will be honest with you. I am become rather disillusioned with the future prospects. I hate by cynical but sadly Pakistan does not have the fundamentels for any real progress. It will be linited progress defined by fits and starts. We do not have the basics required for a full take off that reaches for the sky.

No. Japan's economy was fueled by -

• First turning Japan from a feudal society to a modern European clone in less then few decades similiar to how Ataturk did in Turkey.
• Then Japanese hard worth ethic, unity and order. We don't have any of these.

This is the place where your thinking is stuck like many past arguments of ours. Let me tell you some thing. Pakistan's economy is not what you think it is. Look at North Korea when it came under US sanctions what happened to it. In the same way we also came under those sanctions but we survived. Why? In Pakistan the population is more richer than the Govt it's self and People can survive. The problem with Pakistan is foreign investment. There are many big investors in Pakistan Just go to Swiss banks they have 200 billion USD of Pakistani's There are 1000 of Banks around the country which are dipped in Pakistani funds. Pakistani's have invested heavily in foreign countries and that is what has kept Pakistan alive. The Govt is Poor people are rich. The economic structure is self supporting based on agricultural pillars and moves into different economic realms. Transport system is there for the very elite to the very poor. But full potential to be unleashed don't needs a revolution but a catalyst to push it in the right direction.

The world biggest economy is a feudal society. Look it USA it always has been a feudal society now that feudal society has just vanished from the media and News but at very core of USA it still exists and in Japan the society has been crushed but what has Japan gained from it? in the Time of feudal society the Japan was about to conquer the world and Now with that society crushed Japan is just a US slave. feudal society of Japan has nothing to do with it economic up rise they always were economically prosperous. The (JIT) just in time manufacturing concept was developed by them yes they planned well after defeat but they paid a nuclear cost for it.

[Indus Pakistan]

Look it USA it always has been a feudal society

I don't think you and me have the same abstraction of "feudal".

Feudal
of, relating to, or like the feudal system, or its political, military, social, and economic structure. 2. of or relating to the Middle Ages. 3

in the Time of feudal society the Japan was about to conquer the world

You need to read about the Japanese history. Japan was feudal in pre 1860s. After that it modernized by copying the West.

The Meiji period (明治時代, Meiji-jidai), also known as the Meiji era, is a Japanese era which extended from October 23, 1868, to July 30, 1912. This period represents the first half of the Empire of Japan during which Japanese society moved from being an isolated feudal society to its modern form. Fundamental changes ...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meiji_period

During the Meiji period Japan modernized from a backeward feudal society to a modern Western confiqured country. It did so by adopting European ways of doing things. The traditional Samuri were wiped out. The old order was erased. A modern Japan was born. That began the rise of Japan and soon she was accepted by the West in their exclusive club.

I am happy threads like these exist and we have followed on the strict requirements like child labor and worklife balance etc.

Surgical instruments are diversifying and we should modernize.

To prosper, all non institutionally self sufficient nations must attach themselves to a pillar nation and only one post ww2 was the US, other options like the USSR and China were poor and backwards. Only the largest nations can be institutionally self-sufficient and prosper. The post war era was uni-polar because all strategic institutions are in the hands of one country, the US. Every nation can have independent national institutions but every country must be part of supernational institutions to survive nowadays, for defence, trade, education, information, and technology. These supernational institutions need an underwriter, and they tend to only be the largest (economically, technologically, and militarily) of nations.

Japan couldn't challenge the US and replace its role in this global architecture for many fundamental reasons. Japan understood that during the Meji restoration and thats why it tried to take over China to become the new Middle Kingdom. In the post war era, Japan either joined the only viable game in town (US) or it would be vulnerable and investment would not stay there (capital is sensitive).

Nations like to say they have sovereignty but that is a false perception. Yes, you can decide your local laws, maintain local customs but these pillar nation(s) hold supernational powers. Many countries around the world have negative perceptions of America but they always keep their attention on it because of it is the underwriter for many supernational institutions, a nation out of line with its goals will be sanctioned, internally influenced, incentivized or even attacked. No other nation has this kind of over reaching power because they don't control institutions like SWIFT, reserve currency and powerful military alliances (must have self sufficient MIC).

In an unipolar world you either join (if accepted) the club or feed off crumbs and try to be self sufficient (many countries are also in limbo). In a multipolar world, nations can have options since these supernational institutions overlap and diminishes some of the monopoly power of the supernational institution underwriter. Pakistan is not in the club of the unipolar world, it will always pay a premium for that and feed off the leftovers of the system like all other third world nations, its the rule of the system.
