Gwadar's sport is football, and I can only say that the government needs to invest more in football than cricket, at least in Gwadar," rues a football official affiliated with the Gwadar Port Trust team that missed the Pakistan Football Federation (PFF) National Challenge Cup in December because of the lack of funds. "There is this cricket stadium. "They have made the cricket stadium, it is nice, it is good, but all we want is to do the same for football, and footballers," said Bux. As far as that cricket stadium is concerned, I'm happy, but there is a football stadium too in Gwadar, at a better location as well. He further added that to overlook football for cricket in Gwadar is unwise as the locals have been playing football even before Gwadar became a part of Pakistan from Oman.
