The prestigious award was officially announced during a recent top-level meeting of the federation in South Korea. It marks a major achievement in Arshad Nadeem’s career—a man who continues to set new records for Pakistan in athletics.
Known across the country for his powerful javelin throws and strong determination, Arshad now becomes part of an elite group of athletes honored across Asia. His journey from the dusty fields of Mian Channu to the world stage is truly inspiring.
This is the first time a Pakistani athlete has earned such a title at the Asian level, showing that Arshad’s influence goes far beyond winning medals. His outstanding performances in recent years have placed him among the top figures in Pakistan’s sports history.
The award ceremony was attended by several prominent figures in South Asian athletics. Among them were Major General (R) Muhammad Akram Sahi, Chairman of South Asian Athletics, and Brigadier (R) Wajahat Hussain, President of the Athletics Federation of Pakistan. Secretary Col (R) Shahjahan and senior official Salman Iqbal Butt were also present. They praised Arshad Nadeem for his steady performance, strong discipline, and growing reputation on the international stage.
