The ICC Champions Trophy 2025 was officially launched on Sunday evening with a spectacular opening ceremony at the historic Diwan-e-Aam of Lahore Fort.

Set against the breathtaking backdrop of Pakistan’s rich cultural history, the event showcased a unique blend of cricketing excellence and vibrant traditions, marking the beginning of one of the most anticipated tournaments in cricket history.

Cricket legends, Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) officials, and passionate fans gathered to mark the occasion. The ceremony featured a special panel discussion with iconic cricketers, who shared unforgettable moments from past tournaments.

The ceremony also honoured the Pakistan squad that triumphed in the 2017 Champions Trophy, defeating arch-rivals India by 180 runs in the final to secure the prestigious title.
