musarrat ullah jan -
  Pakistan is scheduled to host the 14th South Asian Games in March 2027. According to the decision of the South Asian Olympic Council, the Games are scheduled to be held from March 23 to 31, 2027, with archery among the approved sports.

The Pakistan Sports Board's own official website lists the Pakistan Archery Federation as "Disputed" in its list of national sports federations. That is not merely an administrative footnote. It raises a series of serious questions as Pakistan moves closer to hosting the South Asian Games. If the national federation of a sport is officially listed as disputed, who will select Pakistan's archers for the Games? Who will organise the national training camp? Who will ...
