HAFIZ Salman Butt had an icy stare. He could leave one frozen with his gaze. Yet those steely gray eyes had a sense of longing in them, a vision unfulfilled, a residing pain. Salman loved football and wanted to see Pakistan reach new heights in the sport. If, ever, Pakistan football reaches those heights Salman wanted to take it to, he wouldn’t be able to see it.
Salman passed away on Thursday night at the age of 65 while being treated at a private hospital in Lahore after having suffered a stroke the previous night and was laid to rest on Friday. With his demise, Pakistan football has lost one of its most influential figures, even if he spent the major part of the last three decades outside rather than inside the Pakistan Football Federation (PFF).

ISLAMABAD: For the young girls from Chitral who have left their hometowns for the first time, travelling to the federal capital has brought them double joy.
One, they have gotten the chance to see the country’s beautiful capital and second, they are receiving football training at the Pakistan Sports Complex - probably some of the few lucky students from the country’s far-flung areas to have found such an opportunity.
Among them is 13-year-old Sufiyana Wazir, who is one of the 40 under-16 football players from Chitral currently in Islamabad to receive training from Spanish coach Jose Alonso and Waleed Javed.
