In a significant development aimed at fostering transparency and fairness, the Pakistan Sports Board (PSB) has taken decisive action by dissolving the Pakistan Hockey Federation (PHF) and suspending its officials. This strategic move seeks to establish an environment conducive to unbiased and open elections, ultimately revitalizing the landscape of field hockey in the nation.
On orders of the PM
Under the directive of the Prime Minister’s Office, a suspension notification has been issued, signaling a new chapter for the PHF. The notification underscores the imperative for a meticulous scrutiny of clubs nationwide, to be executed under the vigilant supervision of the sports board.
The notification further emphasizes the urgency of conducting PHF elections in a transparent manner, placing them under the watchful guidance of the PSB. This step not only demonstrates a commitment to the principles of accountability and integrity but also holds the promise of revitalizing Pakistan’s hockey arena with fresh leadership and renewed enthusiasm.
