Both Balochistan and KP title winners will face off in a Super Final in Peshawar on 3rd December. All semifinals, final and super final will be broadcasted live on PTV Sports in the presence of thousands of football at the venues to catch the action live. The Ufone Football Cup provides a unique and favourable platform to young and talented footballers to enable and empower them to make their mark in their favourite sport. The company chose Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa for the tournament because the two regions have full of talented young footballers but lack necessary infrastructure and sports facilities to nurture their talent.

We are glad that this tournament is quickly becoming an effective platform to identify promising young footballers, who can go on to represent Pakistan on global level. Apart from identifying and nurturing quality sporting talent, we aim to promote constructive and healthy lifestyle amongst the youth to help engender a generation that is sound in body and mind.”
