The championship took place in Budapest, Hungary, from May 18th to 20th, marking a historic moment for Pakistani bodybuilding on the international stage.
Sohail Anwar, General Secretary of the Pakistan Bodybuilding Federation (PBBF), commended the athletes for their dedication and hard work, while Ambassador Asif Hussain Memon of Pakistan to Hungary extended his support and encouragement to the team.
Pakistan’s participation was made possible through the assistance of the Hungarian government and the Hungarian Bodybuilding and Physique Sports Federation (HBPSF).
