KARACHI: Pakistan’s Karate Master Saadi Abbas said his Tokyo Olympics Qualification is in danger due to lack of financial support.
While talking, Abbas said he needs around 30 lacs for participating in events in Brazil and Portugal which will make their way through Tokyo Olympics, scheduled in July this year. “Upcoming events in Brazil and Portugal are very important for qualification in Tokyo Olympics.
