    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...

    The HEC's sports trials in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa have generated controversy and raised questions about their purpose and transparency. Critics argue that the initiative oversteps the commission's mandate, suffers from political interference, fails to identify new talent, and lacks proper oversight. The lack of transparency in financial matters further fuels concerns about potential misuse of public funds. Instead of focusing on ventures outside its core responsibility, the HEC should prioritize its core mandate of improving the quality of higher education in Pakistan. Similarly, the provincial sports directorates and the Pakistan Sports Board should be held accountable for their performance in identifying and nurturing athletic talent. Only through a transparent and focused approach can Pakistan hope to develop a robust and successful sporting ecosystem Questionable Mandate: The HEC's primary responsibility lies in the realm of higher education, not sports developmen...

    While winter winds whip through Charsadda, Abdul Wali Khan Sports Complex's swimming pool faces chilling obstacles. Despite having gas connection points, the lack of readily available needle gas and frequent load shedding are making life for potential bathers anything but refreshing. Amidst this cold reality, a glimmer of hope emerges. Sources confirm former DG Sports Khalid Mahmood had approved a plan to utilize the Pangas system for heating the pool's water. However, this ray of warmth is dimmed by the pool's shortcomings. Falling short of international standards, the pool boasts only seven lanes instead of the required eight. Its width also fails to meet international specifications, and a glaring lack of ventilation adds to the woes. Moreover, departmental teams have not graced the facility for over four months. To add salt to the wound, Charsadda's pool pales in comparison to Peshawar's Adil Khan Sports Complex. While Peshawar's pool enjoys a fo...

    In a perplexing turn of events, a Class IV employee assigned to the hostel at Peshawar Sports Complex has become the center of attention for the Directorate. The employee, who took an unexplained leave, returned to duty after 21 days, presenting medical documents that are yet to gain approval. According to insider sources from the Sports Directorate, the hostel's watchman reported stomach pain one month ago, leading to his absence for twenty-one days, citing illness. The administrator initially approved the leave based on the provided medical report.   However, subsequent reports surfaced indicating the employee's presence at a private school. Subsequently, the employee was summoned to provide an explanation. Surprisingly, the concerned official managed to complete medical paperwork for himself, which were later submitted.

    In a disheartening development at the ongoing Volleyball Inter-Regional Championship hosted at the Peshawar Sports Complex, officials from various regions within the sports directorate have inserted themselves as team officials, sidelining the dedicated volleyball coaches responsible for team selection. Contrary to the commendable efforts of volleyball coaches working on a daily wage basis in the seven different regions, civil servants from respective divisions, drawing regular salaries, have maneuvered to position themselves as officials. This strategic move is aimed at securing a share in the Tournament Allowance and Daily Allowance (TADA) distributed by other institutions at the conclusion of the championship. It is crucial to note that each division's complex has its own volleyball associations, along with diligent coaches on daily wages who have played a significant role in team selection. However, these coaches find themselves completely disregarded as official...
