The match in Kathmandu is not just a contest for a championship, it’s a celebration of regional athleticism and unity. “I’m not entering the ring alone,” Ather said ahead of his trip. “I carry the hopes of 250 million Pakistanis. Competing on Eid makes this more than just a match, it’s a moment that brings people together.
Ather captured the International Championship in October 2024 after a memorable victory over India’s Singham Dubey, also in Kathmandu. His powerful finishing move, the “Desert Slam,” wowed fans and earned him admiration throughout the wrestling world.
Wrestling on Eid al-Adha gives the event added emotional significance for Zahid. “This day reminds us that sacrifice and struggle always come before celebration,” he reflected.
