Visa Waiver for Pakistani Fans Travelling for the World Cup

It was recently reported from Islamabad that almost 500 fans are travelling from Pakistan to Brazil in order to attend one of the largest footballing events in the history of the sport.

The Brazilian ambassador, Alfredo Leoni, came out in the open and spoke about how Pakistanis are travelling from different parts of the world, and from Pakistan, in order to attend this sporting event. He said, “We have issued visas to around 200 people from Pakistan, while the rest of Pakistanis are travelling to our country from other parts of the world.”

He further added that the Pakistani people have been given a waiver so that they can travel to this sporting event. “Here in Pakistan, we’ve given 100 per cent waiver on visas to Pakistani fans to help them enjoy football extravaganza in our country,” he stated.

He also praised how the Pakistani people have helped Brazil by providing them balls for the FIFA World Cup 2014. He said, “Though Pakistan is a 164th-ranked football team, it has left all others behind in production of quality balls. I feel proud to be ambassador in a country which will be supplying all the balls being used in the FIFA World Cup.”
