  KikxNow , Digital Creator A seasoned football coach from Charsadda has been removed from the system after 13 years of service, despite producing numerous players who have gone on to represent national camps, public sector institutions, and university teams. The development has raised serious questions about merit, recruitment practices, and policy priorities within Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s sports structure. According to available information, the coach served as a volunteer from 2014 to 2016 and continued working on daily wages with the Directorate of Sports Khyber Pakhtunkhwa from 2017 to 2026. Despite over a decade of service, he was never regularized, raising concerns about the lack of a clear policy framework for grassroots coaches. In terms of performance, the coach’s record is notable. Players trained under him have secured positions in institutions such as Pakistan Army, Police, WAPDA, and POF. Among the prominent names are Hasan Zeb, a gold medalist in the Army-organize...

  Musarrat Ullah Jan , KikxNow , Digital Creator Upper Dir’s Finance Department 2025 budget data paints a picture that looks balanced on paper but raises uncomfortable questions once you dig into execution. The total allocated budget stands at 41.19 million, while reported expenditure is 35.53 million, leaving around 5.65 million unspent. At first glance, this suggests reasonable fiscal management. But the structure of spending tells a different story. 💰 Payroll Dominates, System Gets Heavier A significant portion of the budget is locked in salaries and allowances. Basic pay and allowance structures consume the bulk of funds, but the real pattern is the continuous expansion of adhoc and special allowances from 2013 to 2025. Instead of strengthening base salaries, the system keeps layering new allowances: Adhoc Relief Allowance (multiple years) Special allowances Disparity adjustments This creates a payroll system that is: complex less transparent difficu...

   Musarrat Ullah Jan , KikxNow , Digital Creator The 2025 financial record of the Regional Sports Office (RSO) Peshawar raises a fundamental question: is this budget actually being spent on sports promotion, or is it just paperwork? The data suggests that a large portion of funds allocated under the label of “sports promotion” is being consumed by salaries, allowances, and vague expenditure heads, while the athletes themselves are nowhere to be seen. A closer look at salaries and allowances makes the picture clear. More than 5.2 million PKR has been spent on basic pay alone, while allowances such as house rent, conveyance, and medical have exceeded their original allocations by wide margins. For example, house rent was budgeted at 580,000 PKR, but actual spending crossed 1 million PKR. Conveyance and medical allowances show similar patterns. This is not a minor discrepancy. It either reflects poor financial planning or a deliberate practice of under-budgeting and over...

Despite repeated reminders and sufficient time provided, the federation has failed to submit mandatory financial documentation, including original vouchers, receipts, invoices, and bank statements detailing the utilization of the funds. In this regard, PSB issued a final notice on 22 April 2026, directing the Pakistan Federation Baseball to submit complete original financial records within seven days. The notice clearly warned that failure to comply would result in strict disciplinary action.

  Musarrat Ullah Jan , KikxNow  Digital Creator Islamabad: The Pakistan Sports Board (PSB) has initiated strict action against the Pakistan Netball Federation for failing to submit complete adjustment accounts and audited financial records for government grants totaling Rs. 65 million released during the fiscal years 2022–23 and 2023–24. According to official records, PSB released Rs. 32 million in FY 2022–23 and Rs. 33 million in FY 2023–24 to the Pakistan Netball Federation. Despite repeated directives, the federation has failed to provide mandatory financial documentation, including original receipts, vouchers, invoices, audit statements, and bank statements explaining the utilization of funds. The PSB issued multiple reminders through official correspondence dated 03 September 2024, 16 September 2024, 29 August 2025, and 18 December 2025, directing the federation to submit complete financial records. However, the federation did not comply. As a result, PSB had alre...

  Musarrat Ullah Jan , KikxNow  Digital Creator Financial records of the Regional Sports Office in D.I. Khan for the fiscal year 2025 have raised serious concerns about fiscal discipline, as expenditures exceeded Rs37.2 million against an allocated budget of just Rs7.8 million. According to the documents, the most striking figure appears under the head “A05270 – To Others,” where spending reached over Rs23 million against a budget of Rs2 million—more than eleven times the approved amount. This category is typically used for sports promotion activities such as tournaments, seminars, and related events. However, the available record does not clearly specify which tournaments were आयोजित , what level of competitions took place, or which seminars were conducted, raising concerns over transparency. In another irregularity, an amount of Rs9.36 million was spent under “Contingent Paid Staff” despite no budget allocation for this head, indicating a possible breach of financial r...

  Musarrat Ullah Jan , KikxNow , Digital Creator sIn District Torghar, the sports promotion budget (A05270 – “To Others”) reflects an allocation that appears encouraging at first glance but raises important questions when examined in detail. The head for sports promotion was originally set at 1.2 million , later increased to a final approved budget of 2.0 million . Out of this, 1.7 million was released and fully utilized , showing complete absorption of the released funds. However, 300,000 remained unreleased , meaning planned activities under this portion never reached implementation. At face value, the spending performance looks efficient because the released amount was fully expended. But a deeper look shows structural concerns. Out of a total district sports budget of 8.83 million , a large portion is absorbed by salaries, allowances, and administrative costs. This leaves sports development itself relatively underfunded compared to operational expenses. The “Sports Prom...

  Musarrat Ullah Jan , KikxNow , Digital Creator A detailed review of the financial records of the District Sports Office Karak reveals a concerning picture regarding budget allocation and expenditure, particularly under the sports promotion head (A05270 – “To Others”). Under this head, a final budget of PKR 6.375 million was allocated, out of which PKR 5.875 million was fully released and completely spent . While investment in sports development is essential for youth engagement, the overall financial structure raises serious concerns about transparency and effective oversight. The total budget of the office stands at PKR 27.92 million , while reported expenditure is PKR 25.88 million . However, when compared with the released budget of PKR 13.91 million , the figures show a significant mismatch of PKR 11.97 million , indicating potential issues in financial planning, reporting, or reconciliation. Several major expenditure heads such as conferences, exhibitions, fairs, an...

  Musarrat Ullah Jan , KikxNow , Digital Creator Financial records from the District Sports Office Hangu, based on Finance Department data, show significant discrepancies between allocated budgets, released funds, and actual expenditures across multiple budget heads. Several payroll and allowance categories reflect unusual accounting patterns, where expenditures were recorded despite inconsistencies in released budgets. In multiple instances, expenditures appear under heads that initially show no clearly released allocation, raising questions about budget execution controls and documentation transparency. The most notable observation comes from budget head A05270 (To Others), commonly associated with sports promotion and related activities. The data shows: Budget: PKR 6,685,000 Expenditure: PKR 6,684,398 Remaining: PKR 602 This indicates nearly complete utilization of the allocated funds. However, the absence of detailed breakdowns on how these funds were spent leaves...

  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...

  Musarrat Ullah Jan , Digital Creator Serious discrepancies have emerged in official records of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Sports Directorate regarding the Batagram Tehsil playground project, raising questions over the utilization and transparency of PKR 475,63,668 (approximately PKR 475 million). The project, approved over a decade ago, remains incomplete despite the release of funds. According to official documents, the playground project in Batagram was approved in the financial year 2013–14 with an allocated budget of PKR 475.63 million. The funds were subsequently transferred to the account of the Deputy Commissioner Batagram. Despite the release of the full amount, the project was never completed, raising early concerns about implementation and oversight. A significant contradiction has been identified between two official communications dated August 19, 2024 (draft) and August 27, 2024 (final). In the draft letter, it was stated that the former Director Development re...

    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...

According to the data, sports promotion funds in FY 2025 were actively utilized for various activities , but at the same time, a serious shortage of staff has been identified, raising concerns about administrative capacity and on-ground execution. FR Bannu historically covers the border and tribal belt of Bannu District , including areas linked to the Wazir tribal belt, rural frontier settlements near Domel, and border-adjacent zones toward North Waziristan , where service delivery has always been operationally challenging. The records show that sports funds were spent on: Workshops Seminars Conferences and training events Other sports promotion activities This indicates that, at the financial lev...

On the financial side, the sports promotion budget for FY 2025 reflects active spending and high utilization , particularly under major development and event-related heads, indicating that funds were largely directed toward sports promotion activities and programs. However, the employee data highlights a very small workforce structure , which may have implications for planning and execution efficiency.

  Musarrat Ullah Jan, KikxNow , Digital Creator The employee records of the FR Tank Sports Wing reveal a significant staff shortage, with only 1 out of 3 sanctioned posts filled, while 2 key positions remain vacant. According to the data, Inayat Ali Amjid is serving as Naib Qasid (BPS-03), while the remaining administrative and technical positions are unfilled. The vacant posts include: Assistant Sports Officer (BPS-16) – Vacant Junior Coach (BPS-10) – Vacant Naib Qasid (additional support structure) – partially filled structure, but overall support staffing remains insufficient The absence of critical positions such as the Assistant Sports Officer and Junior Coach is directly affecting planning, coaching, and field-level sports activities. Without these roles, the development and training of young athletes in the region may face serious limitations.

  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. This indicates that the main sports initiatives planned under this head had either been delayed or were yet to begin. Despite the inactivity in the main sports allocation, some operational expenditures were recorded in supporting budget heads. The T...
