Ali Raza has made Pakistan proud by winning a Silver Medal at the 6th World Mas-Wrestling Championship, held from November 29 to December 1, 2024, in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan. Competing in this traditional and intense sport, Raza’s outstanding performance has brought global attention to Pakistan’s growing skill in mas-wrestling.

Raza impressed everyone with his technique and determination, outperforming tough competitors from various countries.

Raza’s medal is an inspiration for young athletes in Pakistan, proving that hard work and determination can bring international success, even in niche sports.
