Pakistan recently finished second with four points after drawing with Saudi Arabia in their final game at the Prince Saud bin Jalawi Stadium.

Sahiba, a resident of a fishing town on the coast of Karachi, stated in an exclusive interview: "Playing in the four-nation football competition in Saudi Arabia was a lot of fun. The desire to represent Pakistan internationally has been realized. Getting Pakistan a global gold medal is the next aim."

The defender also discussed how she overcome obstacles she had faced ever since she was a child to follow her goal.

"I've enjoyed playing football since I was young. I initially played with family members and neighborhood lads. To reach the ground, one must go a considerable distance. One must travel far in Maripur to perform sports without adequate facilities "She spoke.

Sahiba, however, claimed that her father, a fisherman, had been a steady source of support for her.

"I had to overcome a lot of obstacles in order to play, but my father gave me his whole support."

When Sahiba first came into her neighborhood, she was given a warm welcome, which made both the residents and the entire country proud.
