Pakistan Sports Board Issues Strong Warning Against Fake Bodybuilding Federation Claiming National Representation

Islamabad: The Pakistan Sports Board (PSB) has issued a
strong public disclaimer exposing an unauthorized and unrecognized body
operating under the name “Pakistan Body Builder Federation,” which is allegedly
attempting to represent Pakistan at international bodybuilding events.
According to the PSB, the said organization is neither
affiliated nor recognized under the Sports (Development and Control) Ordinance,
1962 or the Constitution of PSB, 2022. Despite this, certain individuals
identified as Mian Arshad Ali (claiming President), Jaan Muhammad (claiming
Secretary General), and Fayyaz Faisal (claiming Finance Secretary) have
reportedly been engaging with international bodies to obtain invitation letters
and visa documents for participation in foreign competitions.
The issue surfaced in relation to the “NABBA International
World Championship,” scheduled to be held on 21 June 2026 in Gateshead, United
Kingdom, where the group allegedly attempted to secure participation
credentials under the name of Pakistan.
PSB clarified that only those sports federations officially
affiliated and recognized by the Board are legally authorized to use the name
“Pakistan” and represent the country in international sporting events. Any
unrecognized body has no legal authority to send teams abroad or claim national
representation.
The Board further stated that no NOC, permission, or
authorization has been issued to the individuals or the so-called federation
for participation in the said event or for representing Pakistan at any
international level. All such claims, communications, or announcements are
therefore misleading, unauthorized, and legally invalid.
Athletes and parents have been strongly advised not to
engage with or rely on such unrecognized entities, as doing so may lead to
serious consequences, including travel and legal complications.
PSB also emphasized that misuse of Pakistan’s name or false
representation as a national sports body is a serious violation of applicable
laws and may result in strict legal and regulatory action.
The disclaimer has been issued in the public interest to
protect athletes and safeguard the integrity of Pakistan’s sports system from
misuse and misrepresentation.
