ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Football.Com (FPDC) has clarified that PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto had fulfilled the promise of cash award he made with the players of street child team in 2014.
The FDPC clarified in a statement that Pakistan Peoples’ Party’s Sindh government failed to honour the commitment of cash prize and jobs. The organization urged the PPP chairman and Sherry Rehman to make the provincial fulfil its promise.

Bilawal complimented the children for their outstanding performance in the 20-team global competition.
Bakhtawar Bhutto, Asefa Bhutto, MNA Faryal Talpur, former Federal Information Minister and ex-Ambassador to USA Sherry Rehman were also present on the occasion.
