Sports in Punjab
Various types of sports are played in Punjab. Both Indian Punjab[1] and Pakistani Punjab[2] have separate sports boards to undertake most of the sports activities in their respective regions. Also many many private organizations, universities and schools held their sporting events as well.[3] Punjab youth festival is an annual event in Pakistani Punjab that is very famous in terms of audience participation.[4] Also local boards make sure to have international collaborations when necessary to improve standards in certain sports.[5]
Since Punjab have a huge foreign diaspora so they arrange certain events in other countries as well.[6] Recently rugby is gaining traction in Punjab and Pakistan's first under-16 rugby team has been selected from Faisalabad Punjab to play in the World Rugby under-16 tournament.[7]
