Further, she expressed her disappointment in the kind of food being served to athletes, which she deemed unfit.

Field size - (50x90)
Last min match duration change - from 45 minutes to 35 minutes.
Food served not fit for athletes' consumption.
This is 'Pakistan Olympics'
This is #NationalGames2019
This is professionalism.
This is a country whose head of state has been a sportsman.

Footballer said that she feels embarrassed by the facilities provided to athletes in the country. However, she believes if only Pakistan starts looking after it's athletes there will be a dramatic improvement in the plight of sports in the country.

I have never felt as disrespected for serving this country as I have in the last couple of days.
I have always said this and I'll say it again, the day this country starts giving back to its athletes - it'll be a whole new ball game.#nationalgames2019
