Squash legend and former world champion Jahangir Khan has emphasised the need for athletes to have access to international-standard sports equipment to enhance Pakistan's sports ecosystem.
"High-quality gear is essential for athletes to perform with confidence and focus. In today's digital era, sports equipment of global standards can now be easily acquired through quality online platforms," said Jahangir Khan while speaking at the launch ceremony of Powerplay Sports' online store at the Legends Arena in Karachi.
The event was attended by Omar Saeed, CEO of international sports equipment brand Combaxx Sports, Farah Saeed, Vice President of the Softball Federation of Pakistan, Zubair Macha, General Manager of Combaxx Sports, and Saad Asif, Director of Powerplay Sports.
Extending his best wishes to Powerplay Sports, Jahangir highlighted that the availability of international brands manufacturing equipment of cricket, squash, padel tennis, taekwondo, judo, karate, and softball will allow young Pakistani athletes to access world-class gear within the country.
Omar Saeed, CEO of Combaxx Sports, announced that all internationally certified Combaxx Sports products would be available on the Powerplay online store. Furthermore, as a technical partner, Combaxx Sports will sponsor two athletes (one male and one female) annually for overseas training.
"Additionally, an annual awards ceremony will be held to honor Pakistani athletes who win medals at the national and international levels," said Omar. "In collaboration with Powerplay Sports, a women's sports event will also be sponsored each year."
Through this platform, federations and associations will be able to procure kits and sports gear at discounted prices for various events, including international championships, national championships, inter-provincial competitions, training courses, and coaching clinics held in Pakistan.
