He said that the coaches would take Asif's trials while the Athletics Federation would provide all facilities to Asif.
He said that the video shows that the youth has the ability to move forward and the federation will also provide financial assistance to them for coming and going to Lahore.
Akram Sahi said that after watching the videos of young Asif, I have become a fan of him.
