Football is the most popular game played in Gwadar district. All the towns and villages have at least one football club and a playing field. Open levelled fields are playgrounds. There are tens of unregistered football clubs in the district. Play of other games is negligible. Girls are prohibited to play field games, however facilities are available to them for playing basket ball and other track games in their schools.

The government has an important role in the promotion of recreational activities but rarely attention is given to this sector. The government has provided playgrounds in educational institutions and one stadium is also constructed at Gwadar, but there is an immense need for maintenance of these play fields and encouragement of talented players.

Incentives should be introduced for promotion of sports and encouragement of youth which otherwise can be attracted by asocial or antisocial activities.
