Arif Mirza said that, this a golden opportunity for the body building participants to win pro-cards in three main categories; Men’s Body Building, Men’s Physique, and Men’s Classic Physique respectively, in each category there’s 3 pro-cards, the Pakistani body builders who are deprived of such chances to participate in major events this is a great opportunity for them, to prepare well and participate in this event and by winning pro-cards make their way to the Mr. Olympia.
Arif Mirza said that in Pakistan no body builder has won any pro-card there are few body builders with pro-cards but they are not living in Pakistan, more to that Pakistani body builders have not made it ahead of Mr. Pakistan competitions, and there are no international level body building events here in Pakistan. But, now body builders from Pakistan have this chance to prove their skills and move forward, also to step up from Amateur Body Building to Professional Body Building.
Arif Mirza further said that he wants Pakistani body builders to have a competent place on international level, because we don’t have any less potential body builders but due to scarcity of opportunities they are lagging far behind, now to motivate them ahead is the main mission of this event so, this is why such major event is being organized in Pakistan
