A lucky Pakistani football fan will be conducting the coin toss between Brazil and Costa Rica at the FIFA World Cup 2018 in Russia.

Ahmed Raza, 15, will conduct the coin toss for the match scheduled for June 22 (Friday). The coin toss will take place at 4:45pm (PST).

He hails from Sialkot and is an ardent fan of Neymar Jr and the Brazilian football team.

Three generations of the teenager’s family have been involved in crafting hand-stitched footballs for professional leagues, according to a press release.

He will be accompanied by Pakistan’s national football team (men) captain Kaleemullah on his journey to Moscow.
