LAHORE: For the first time in the country’s history, a three-member national women’s team has left for Jordan to compete in the International Tent Pegging Championship.
The Championship will be held in Jordan’s historic and archaeological city of Petra from September 22 to 24. The event will mark Pakistan’s first participation in a major women’s tent pegging event.
