Pakistan’s Olympic gold medalist Arshad Nadeem has revealed receiving offers from other countries to represent them on the global stage.
In an interview with a private TV channel, the javelin ace said that he was offered to represent countries such as the United Kingdom, United Arab Emirates and Turkiye among others.
However, Arshad Nadeem rejected all those offers as he remains committed to represent Pakistan.
“I have been offered to represent countries like UAE, UK, Turkey, and Uzbekistan, but I declined. My heart belongs to Pakistan, and I want to play for my country, regardless of the outcome,” the star athlete stated.

Arshad Nadeem also revealed that he is currently a brand ambassador in Uzbekistan, however, he refused the country’s offer to compete under their flag.
Born into a family grappling with financial constraints, the javelin ace’s childhood was far removed from the glamorous world of sports.
His father, a construction laborer, worked tirelessly to provide for his family, while young Arshad displayed an early affinity for sports, particularly cricket. However, destiny had a different plan.
