Speaking at the opening ceremony, she expressed her vision for a progressive and thriving Punjab, emphasising that the province is full of champions. She noted that sports fields had been abandoned for years but are now coming back to life.

She praised young athletes for making their families, Punjab, and Pakistan proud, calling it the largest sports event in Pakistan’s history.

She celebrated the participation of both boys and girls, stating that Punjab now has 15,000 sports clubs and has awarded 30,000 scholarships purely on merit.
