He made the observation during his address as the chief guest at the ORWA Football Fest prize-giving ceremony held in Dhaka on November 10.
Highlighting the true essence of sports, Faruque underscored its role in bringing people together, fostering camaraderie, and promoting a healthy, active lifestyle.
