In 2013, seven people were also killed in an explosion during a football match in the Lyari area of Karachi. The explosives were planted in a motorcycle near the vehicle of provincial minister Javed Nagori, injuring more than a dozen people.
Earlier in 2008, a part of the Nawab Nowruz Khan Football Stadium in Mastung was damaged in an explosion.
At the time of the blast, the then Chief Minister Nawab Muhammad Aslam Raisani was also watching the match at the stadium, but fortunately, no casualties were reported.
