Athletes Struggle for Space as Kohat Sports Complex Indoor Hall Turns into Registration Centre

musarrat ullah jan -
  Musarrat Ullah Jan , KikxNow , Digital Creator Kohat: Despite repeated claims of promoting sports infrastructure, athletes in Kohat Sports Complex are reportedly struggling to find space for training after a newly constructed indoor hall was converted into a registration centre for Afghan refugees. According to local sources, the indoor hall was built around a year ago for female sports activities and indoor games. However, instead of serving athletes regularly, the facility has reportedly hosted fewer sporting events while being used more often for non-sports activities. The latest development has further deepened concerns among athletes, as NADRA authorities have now established a registration centre for Afghan refugees inside the same hall. This has significantly disrupted sports activities at the complex, forcing local players to search for alternative places to train. Officials at the registration centre said the facility will continue operating at the sports complex...

Modern Hockey Has Changed, But Pakistan’s Selection System Remains Stuck in the Past

musarrat ullah jan -
    Musarrat Ullah Jan KikxNow , Digital Creator Modern hockey has undergone a complete transformation over the last two decades, but Pakistan’s team selection system remains trapped in an outdated structure that no longer meets the demands of the modern game. Across the world, hockey powers have shifted away from the traditional model where selection committees decide the fate of players. In modern systems, the head coach has the primary authority to build the squad according to tactical needs, player versatility, and game strategy. Pakistan, however, still relies heavily on conventional selection committees, a system experts believe is slowing down the country's progress in international hockey. The nature of hockey has changed dramatically since 2000. It is now a faster, more tactical, and more physically demanding sport. The introduction of the four-quarter format, rolling substitutions, and flexible player roles has made adaptability one of the most important qu...

Financial Story of Sports Activities Budget – FR Kohat (Sub Division 5270), 2025

musarrat ullah jan -
  Musarrat Ullah Jan, KikxNow , Digital Creator In the financial year 2025, the Sports Activities budget for FR Kohat under Sub Division 5270 was allocated with the aim of supporting sports-related administrative operations, events, equipment procurement, and miscellaneous expenses. The original budget stood at Rs. 10.112 million, reflecting the department’s commitment to promote sports and related activities in the region. At the start of the year, a large portion of the funds was reserved under “A05270 – To Others”, amounting to Rs. 8 million, which likely represented grants or special allocations for sports programs. However, by the reporting period, none of this amount had been utilized, leaving the full Rs. 8 million unspent.
