Sialkot is the world’s largest producer of hand-sewed footballs, with local factories manufacturing 40~60 million footballs a year. About 80% of association footballs are made in Pakistan. 75% of these (60% of all world production) are made in the city of Sialkot.There is a well-applied child labour ban, the Atlanta Agreement, in the industry since a 1997 outcry.
