Team Pakistan set to compete in World Chess Olympiad in Budapest

A 10-member chess team from Pakistan is gearing up to compete in the 45th Chess Olympiad in Budapest, Hungary. The team, consisting of five male and five female players, is excited to showcase their skills on the global stage. Despite some visa issues, the Chess Federation of Pakistan is confident in the team’s readiness. The men’s team includes experienced players who have competed in national events, while the women’s team includes a young player receiving special assistance due to a physical disability. The federation’s efforts to promote chess in schools and communities are aimed at nurturing young talent like Ayat Asmi. A strong performance at the Olympiad could help boost the popularity of the sport in Pakistan.
