Islamabad, August 25, 2025 – The National Assembly Standing Committee on Inter-Provincial Coordination (IPC) has formed a sub-committee to investigate financial irregularities, governance issues, and the legal status of the Pakistan Hockey Federation (PHF).
The committee convened at Parliament House under the chairmanship of MNA Muhammad Sana Ullah Khan Masti Khel. During the session, PHF officials briefed the committee on matters including player payments, participation in International Hockey Federation events, and the federation’s constitution and election process. The PHF also presented a detailed report on its financial operations for the fiscal year 2024-25.
Responding to concerns raised by members, the committee established a sub-committee led by MNA Sheikh Aftab Ahmed. The sub-committee has been tasked with reviewing PHF’s legal framework, probing alleged financial discrepancies, and recommending a roadmap for reforms. The committee will be supported by the Secretaries of the Law and IPC ministries, the Director General of the Pakistan Sports Board, a representative of the Attorney General’s Office, as well as PHF’s president and secretary.
The findings of the sub-committee will be submitted to the main committee for further action.
The session also noted that the agenda item on the National Internship Program could not be taken up. The meeting was attended by MNAs Anjum Aqeel Khan, Waseem Qadir, Sardar Muhammad Yaqoob Khan Nasar, Haji Rasool Bux Chandio, Syeda Shehla Raza, Dr. Mehreen Razzaq Bhutto, Muhammad Iqbal Khan, Khawaja Izhar-ul-Hassan, Yousaf Khan, and Syed Sami Ullah, along with officials from the IPC ministry, Pakistan Sports Board, SNGPL, and the PHF.
This move underscores the committee’s commitment to transparency, accountability, and strengthening governance within Pakistan’s sports institutions.
