Shaheen Afridi makes history by launching Manchester United kit

Shaheen Shah Afridi Makes History at Manchester United Kit Launch

In a groundbreaking event, Pakistani cricket star Shaheen Shah Afridi has become the first Muslim, Asian, and Pakistani athlete to officially launch a Manchester United football kit.

The fast bowler visited Old Trafford, Manchester United’s legendary home ground, for this special occasion, marking a notable collaboration between the cricket champion and the globally renowned football club.

According to a Manchester United source, the club is thrilled about partnering with Afridi. “This collaboration is very special,” the source told Geo News.

“Shaheen Shah Afridi was invited to launch the new kit at Old Trafford due to his remarkable athletic achievements and to inspire youth to engage in sports. We look forward to more partnerships with Afridi in the future.”

Video highlights from the event show Afridi proudly wearing the new Manchester United kit, symbolizing a unique connection between cricket and football.

Earlier this year, Afridi met Manchester United owner Avram Glazer during the ILT20 league in Dubai, where Afridi was playing for the Desert Vipers.

Glazer’s invitation to Afridi to visit Old Trafford and the gift of a Manchester United jersey paved the way for this collaboration.

Afridi’s visit from Pakistan to take part in the kit launch underscores the significance of this milestone in his career.
