Pakistani footballer Karishma Ali made it to the Forbes list of 30 under 30!

The first girl from Chitral to play football on both national as well as international level, 21-year-old Karishma is the founder of the Chitral Women’s Sports Club - responsible for training 60 girls and simultaneously encouraging their participation in sports.

Celebrating the moment of glory with fans of Twitter, Ali gave a shout-out to her father who supported her dreams.

"Baba, look how far we've come," she posted.

Previously, representing Pakistan at the Jubilee Games in Dubai, her team was the first women’s team from Pakistan to participate in the AFL International Cup.

Big congratulations to Karishma!

Congrats Karishma and Baba AND those who supported you. PK is on the map of talents again. Just see what happens when PK opens up and educates girls. Girls are an untapped resource that needs support, safety and care by everyone.

At least something different than cricket , Pakistan needs world class athletes in other disciplines too where it is lagging behind. A breath of fresh air.
