London, (Shahzad Ali) __ In a commendable gesture of recognition and support, the Pakistan High Commissioner to the United Kingdom, Dr. Mohammad Faisal, recently hosted a reception at the Pakistan High Commission to honor the accomplishments of the Pakistan Girls Youth Netball Team. This team returned triumphant from the Asian Youth Girls Netball Championship 2025 held in South Korea, where they secured the prestigious Plate Final title.

The event convened a diverse gathering, comprising distinguished representatives from the British-Pakistani community, esteemed officials from the High Commission, and the spouse of the High Commissioner. During his address, Dr. Faisal expressed profound admiration for the team’s exceptional performance, underscoring the athletes’ resilience, dedication, and steadfast commitment to excellence.

“The success of our young athletes conveys a compelling message to the global community — that Pakistani girls are empowered, resilient, and shattering barriers in all areas of endeavor,” stated Dr. Faisal. “These remarkable young women stand as a beacon of inspiration not only for girls in Pakistan but for millions around the world. Their achievements exemplify that no dream is beyond reach and no challenge insurmountable.”

The Pakistan High Commission has actively engaged in supporting the team throughout their journey, having proudly hosted their official launch last year under the “Pakistan in UK” initiative. Through the provision of essential consular services, the High Commission has facilitated the team’s participation in esteemed international women’s netball competitions. This reflects Pakistan’s unwavering commitment to advancing women’s representation in sports on a global platform.

Such initiatives not only empower the athletes but also contribute to enhancing the perception of Pakistan’s dedication to women’s issues in sports, showcasing the vast potential for future accomplishments.
