Pakistan government suspends country's hockey federation, orders fresh elections

Hindustan Times  

In yet another massive jolt to an already beleaguered Pakistan Hockey Federation, the country's Sports Board suspended the entire federation and has ordered fresh elections. Pakistan's players celebrate after scoring a goal during the Asian Champions Trophy 2023 hockey tournament match against China According to the PSB, a state-owned institution, the PHF was suspended with immediate effect on the orders of outgoing Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif, who apparently signed the order on his last day in office. The PSB has appointed a committee to hold fresh elections of the PHF at the district, divisional and provincial levels after which the elected office bearers will elect the new PHF president and its congress. Former hockey Olympians have welcomed the move to have fresh elections of PHF but have also called for the government to carry out a proper in depth audit of the federation's funds.
