The commentators believe that the selection of Pakistan among the few countries for an official anthem, for the FIFA World Cup, by an international brand is a big thing for the country. Not only does it brings out a positive image of Pakistan globally but it will also give a necessary boost for the promotion of the game in the country. Pakistani footballs are already popular in the world as all the footballs used in the World Cup are imported from Pakistan.
Currently, cricket is a more popular sport in Pakistan than football, hence football in Pakistan lacks the major sponsorships needed to fund the team. The popularity of the song ‘Colors’ in Pakistan hints for the formation of Pakistan’s football team in the coming years. Since it will attract the attention of the sponsors needed to fund and support the team at an international level.
