Pakistan may not be sending a team to the World Cup, but it WILL have a key player on the field in Brazil.
Pakistan is MANUFACTURING many of the soccer balls, or FOOTBALLS as they are known in most of the world.
The footballs -- this year called BRAZUCA -- come from the north-east region of Sialkot (see-al-cote).
