    Peshawar, Pakistan: Despite facing financial hurdles, volleyball players from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa have resumed their training thanks to the efforts of the sports directorate. After being expelled from the Pakistan Sports Board gymnasium due to increased fees, the players have found a new home at the ground next to the Tariq Wadood Badminton Hall. The ground, previously occupied by a private gym, was reclaimed by the sports directorate to accommodate the volleyball players. The decision came in response to the players' financial difficulties and the lack of suitable training facilities in the province. Under the guidance of coach Wasif Khan, the players are training daily from 3 pm to 6 pm. The turf ground ensures that practice can continue even during the rainy season, providing a much-needed solution for the dedicated athletes. The sports directorate's decision to prioritize the volleyball players' training is a significant step towards supporting the developmen

  The safety net surrounding the official cricket academy at Peshawar Sports Complex has deteriorated significantly, with several areas completely broken. As a result, balls frequently escape through the damaged sections and fall outside the academy's boundary. Despite this issue, both the coaches and management have remained silent, showing no signs of addressing the problem. Each day, around 450 young players come to this academy for cricket training. Now, with the net damaged, players often have to run through the broken sections to retrieve balls from outside and struggle to get back inside the academy. The lack of attention from the coaching staff is causing the safety net to deteriorate further, leading to increased challenges for players during training sessions. #PeshawarSportsComplex #CricketAcademy #BrokenSafetyNet #YouthCricket #CoachesNegligence #SportsFacilities #PlayerSafety #CricketTraining

  Peshawar ,   In a shocking revelation, twelve bicycles donated by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) in 2016 for the Joint District Sports Directorate in FATA have mysteriously disappeared. The bicycles were initially used in the FATA Festival 2016 and a few subsequent events but have since vanished without a trace. According to reports, the bicycles were handed over to the cycling coach of the then Sports Directorate, who still has possession of them. However, the merged District Sports Directorate has failed to provide any explanation for why the bicycles were given to the coach or how they were used. This incident raises serious concerns about accountability and transparency in the management of public funds. The bicycles, worth lakhs of rupees, were intended for the benefit of the community, but they have instead been lost or misappropriated. It is imperative that a thorough investigation be conducted to determine what happened to the bicycles and hold those resp

  The Pakistan Sports Board (PSB) convened an inquiry committee to investigate the incident involving Zohaib Rasheed, a Pakistani boxer, who failed to participate in the 1st World Qualification Tournament held in Italy in March 2024. The inquiry, focusing on potential mismanagement and misconduct, revealed that key officials of the Pakistan Boxing Federation (PBF), including President Muhammad Khalid Mahmood and Secretary General Lt. Col. (R) Muhammad Nasir Ijaz Tung, neglected their duties. These officials failed to submit the required “Undertaking” and “Surety Bond” to PSB, resulting in the boxer skipping the event without the necessary approvals, causing serious disgrace to the country. The inquiry committee recommended that the PSB recover a "surety bond" of Rs. 1 million from the responsible office bearers of PBF. Additionally, it advised against allowing these individuals to hold any future positions in national sports federations, pending further investigation. Notab

  The provincial sports directorates and associated sports associations in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KPK) are facing a severe financial crisis due to the non-disbursement of funds by the provincial finance department for the past two years. Grant, aid, endowment payments, sports promotion, and maintenance funds have all been withheld, leading to a halt in sports events and financial distress for associations. The endowment department has issued a stern warning, threatening to take back the land leased to the sports directorate for 32 venues if the outstanding payments are not settled. This crisis has eroded the trust between the associations and the directorate, resulting in decreased participation in sports events. The upcoming Quaid-e-Azam Games and the National Games in 2025 are expected to be significantly impacted due to a shortage of athletes in various sports. Despite repeated requests for funds to the finance department in 2023, the sports directorate has received no response. As
