Hopefully Pakistan will be a decent team too in football in near future

Abdullah Iqbal, a 22-year-old center-back, has made history as the first Pakistani footballer to reach a market value of €1million. Born on July 27, 2002, he currently captains the Pakistan national football team and plays for Mjällby AIF, a club in Sweden's top league, Allsvenskan. His rise in football is remarkable, starting with his youth career at B.93 in Denmark, where he joined at age seven, captained the U-19 side, and helped secure the senior team’s promotion to the Danish 1st Division when he was only 19.
Abdullah’s performances in Denmark earned him a reputation for leadership and solid defending. He was later named player of the year at B.93, highlighting his influence in the squad. In August 2024, he transferred from B.93 to Mjällby AIF for a fee of €200,000, signing a contract until 2028. At Mjällby, he quickly established himself as a starting center-back, helping anchor the defense in Sweden’s top flight.
Iqbal's rapid market value increase—from €300,000 to €1million—makes him one of the most valuable players in the South Asian Football Federation (SAFF), signaling his growing influence and the international recognition of his talent. His achievements represent a significant milestone not just for his personal career but for the visibility of Pakistani football on the global stage.
