Pakistan stun Korea in Asian Youth Netball
Pakistan stamped its authority in netball on Sunday with a stunning win over hosts South Korea by 91-6 goals in the third match of the Asian Youth Girls Netball Championship-2025, being played at Jeonju Hwasan Gymnasium, Jeonju-si, South Korea. Superb skills and confidence was displayed by Pakistan's Leya Raza Shah, Alisha Naveed, Haleema, Sarina Hussain, Jasmine Farooq, Farah Rasheed , Amani, Parisa , Sumayya Ahmed and Alina who never allowed South Korean girls to recover and dominate in the crucial match. This was the national team's third successive win in the mega event after they beat Saudi Arabia and Chinese Taipei on the first two days. The girls are gelling in well during this championship and are showing that they are not less than any net ball team in Asia. The credit for the team's magnificent performance must be given to the Pakistan Netball Federation (PNF) officials and its coaches who have left no stone unturned to train and groom the girls team and provide them with the best of facilities and exposure year after year. However, despite Pakistan netball team's brilliant show in the national and international events for the past many years, it is unfortunate that the Pakistan Sports Board (PSB), which always boasts about its fair policies and transparency, has totally snubbed the PNF while distributing the annual grants to 22 other federations barely a week ago. Chairman, Pakistan Netball Federation, Mudassar Arain, President, Sameen Malik, Secretary General, Muhammad Riaz congratulated the Pakistan team for securing a handsome victory over Korea by a heavy margin of 91-6 goals. Pakistan is placed in Pool- B of this mega event and will play their next match against Japan on Monday (today). Their 5th match in its group will be against Maldives on July 1. Pakistan is on top of Pool-B at the moment.

Eleven teams are participating in the championship and divided into two groups; It must be mentioned here that the Pakistan Sports Board (PSB), in a step-motherly treatment towards the sport of netball, has completely ignored the PNF while distributing funds to 22 other sports federations this week. The PNF has neither received an annual nor a special grant this year from the PSB. Pakistan netball teams have been bringing laurels to the country for decades now and have always kept the country's flag high in international events.
