CM Murad invites Messi-led Argentina football team to Lyari’s Kakri Ground

Sindh Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah has invited the Argentina football team to visit Lyari, which is often called ‘mini Brazil’, due to its passionate football culture.

The invitation was extended during a meeting with Argentine Ambassador Sebastian Sais, where two leaders discussed ways to enhance ties between Sindh and Argentina.

The meeting also focused on potential investment opportunities in Karachi's water projects.

"We have received $50 million from the World Bank for these projects, and we encourage private investors to participate in treating seawater for urban supply," he said.

Ambassador Sais expressed interest from Argentine stock exchange companies in investing in Sindh, particularly in setting up warehouses.

In a move to promote sporting ties, Chief Minister Shah invited the Argentine football team to the Kukri Ground in Lyari.

It was agreed that Argentine players will participate in training matches at Lyari's Kuari Ground, fostering sporting ties between the two nations.

It should be noted here that Lyari, often referred to as "mini-Brazil," has a rich football heritage.
