Centennial Model High School wins 1st ever Football Match played under floodlights in Chitral
Centennial Model High School beat Imran Khan Foundation School to claim victory in the first ever friendly football match played under floodlights at Chitral Football Stadium.
Sehat.com.pk organized a friendly football game between Centennial Model High School and Imran Khan Foundation School as a part of their #SehatCares CSR initiative which was the first ever football match played under floodlights as no other football pitches in the region ever had such facilities.
The mentioned match was easily won by Centennial Model High School as the boys convincingly defeated their counterparts by scoreline of 2-0. The winning side kept most of the ball possession and did not allow players from Imran Khan Foundation School to score goals in their net. Centennial Model High School recorded two goals victory with the help of a dicey performance form the opposing goalkeeper.
This game was attended by over 500 sports enthusiasts including some notable personalities such as: DFA Chitral President, Zafar Ali Shah, DFA Chitral Patron-in-Chief, Hussain Ahmed and Principal of Centennial Model High School, who served as chief guest.
DFA Chitral has already sent a team to play in Spain through Atletico Madrid Academy in Pakistan, and have provided great talent for selection in the National Football Team.
DFA Chital Patron, Hussain Ahmed said,
“Chitral is a region, whose football talent is definitely recognized but sadly neglected by the higher football authorities in the country. We certainly hope that this floodlight facility can spearhead football in the region and invite teams from other parts of the country to compete against local footballing talent.”
Sehat.com.pk Director Marketing Bilal Mumtaz was of the view that,
“I have consistently been coming to Chitral for the past few years to hold camps through personal efforts. I have seen immense footballing talent in the region and want to do my part to enrich the lives of the youth in this area.”
