KARACHI: Azra Farooq, a prominent figure in Pakistan’s women’s volleyball, has been named the Most Valuable Player at the Kings Cup Volleyball tournament held in the Maldives.
Playing for the MK Club, Azra’s exceptional performance was a highlight of the tournament. She played a crucial role in securing victories for her team in all four matches and was named the best player in each of those games, leading her team to win the tournament title.
Throughout the event, Azra excelled individually, earning six awards: four Player of the Match accolades, the MVP award, and a Top 6 Player award. These accolades not only celebrate Azra’s individual talent but also represent a significant achievement for Pakistani women’s volleyball, showcasing their potential on the international stage.
