Most of the world's soccer balls come from this place

Sialkot, a city in Pakistan, produces about 70% of the world's soccer balls, including Adidas's Al Rihla – the 2022 FIFA World Cup's official ball. Over 80% of soccer balls are hand stitched, a laborious process that makes them more durable. Each ball takes about 3 hours to complete, for which workers get roughly $0.75. They earn about 9.6K rupees per month against a living wage of 20K rupees.
