Customer preferences: As the popularity of American football continues to grow in Pakistan, there has been a noticeable trend towards more inclusive and diverse representation in the sport. This can be attributed to the countrys young and increasingly diverse population, as well as a push for greater cultural representation in mainstream media. Additionally, there has been a rise in demand for sustainable and eco-friendly sports equipment and apparel, as consumers become more environmentally conscious and seek out products that align with their values.
