Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Women Footsallers Denied Prize Money for Over a Year, Organizers Suspected of Misappropriation

 

 

The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa women's footsall team, who emerged victorious in the national competitions last year, are still waiting to receive the prize money of Rs. 3 lakh announced by the sports directorate. While the organizers claim the issue has been settled, the players remain in limbo, facing continued delays and uncertainty.

Sources close to the team revealed that the prize money, initially promised from a local Peshawar college, has not been disbursed for over a year and a half. The players, many of whom are college students themselves, have been repeatedly strung along with empty promises by the organizers.

Alarmingly, further reports suggest that a few journalists involved in the competitions might be behind the missing funds. According to some players, these individuals allegedly received the money from the sports directorate under false pretenses but never forwarded it to the team. These allegations, though unconfirmed, cast a dark shadow over the prize money's whereabouts and raise serious questions about transparency within the organizing committee.

Despite repeated inquiries, the relevant officials remain elusive, reportedly stationed in Rawalpindi with no clear answers regarding the prize money's status. This lack of communication and accountability only deepens the frustration and disappointment felt by the players, who were rightfully expecting recognition and reward for their achievements.

The delayed prize money not only affects the players' morale but also undermines their trust in the system. Swift action and a thorough investigation are necessary to uncover the truth behind the missing funds and ensure those responsible are held accountable. Only then can the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa women's footsall team receive the recognition and financial support they deserve.
