EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph takes us back in time to the early 1900s in the North-West Frontier Province (NWFP) of Pakistan, specifically in the picturesque hill station of Murree. The image showcases the serene football ground nestled amidst the breathtaking backdrop of towering hills and lush greenery. The pitch, with its meticulously manicured grass, is a testament to the passion and dedication of the local community towards the sport. The photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history of football in Pakistan, long before the country gained its independence. The spectators, dressed in their finest attire, are seen cheering and supporting their teams with great enthusiasm. The atmosphere is filled with excitement and anticipation, as the players take to the field, ready to engage in a fierce competition. Murree, a popular summer retreat for the British during the colonial era, was known for its salubrious climate and scenic beauty. The presence of a football ground in this idyllic setting further underscores the enduring appeal of the sport, transcending geographical and cultural boundaries. This photograph is a precious piece of history, offering us a window into the past and reminding us of the shared human experiences that unite us all, regardless of time and place. The hills of Murree may have changed little since this image was captured over a century ago, but the passion for football continues to thrive in the hearts and minds of the people of Pakistan.
