Pakistan Hockey Federation President Mohyuddin Wani meets FIH chief Tayyab Ikram in Brussels as efforts grow to revive the national hockey program.
Pakistan Hockey Federation (PHF) President Mohyuddin Wani has held important discussions with International Hockey Federation (FIH) President Tayyab Ikram on strengthening Pakistan’s position in international hockey.
The meeting took place on the sidelines of the FIH World Conference in Brussels, where the two officials exchanged views on strategies aimed at improving Pakistan’s presence and competitiveness on the global hockey stage.
The discussions focused on the future development of the sport in Pakistan and potential measures that could help the country regain its standing among the leading hockey nations. The engagement also highlighted the importance of stronger international cooperation for the revival and promotion of Pakistan hockey.
According to a statement issued by the PHF, Wani also met with the heads of several international hockey federations during his participation in the conference. These meetings provided an opportunity to discuss possible areas of collaboration and further strengthen Pakistan’s links with the global hockey community.
The PHF described the ongoing developments as encouraging for the future of the sport in the country. The federation believes that increased international engagement and cooperation can contribute to creating new opportunities for Pakistan’s players and teams.
A major development on the horizon is the expected visit of leading European hockey teams to Pakistan next year. The tours could provide the national side with valuable exposure against high-quality opposition while also helping promote international hockey activities within the country.
Hosting top European teams would also offer Pakistani players an opportunity to compete against some of the strongest sides in the world on home soil. Such encounters could play a role in improving competitive standards and generating greater interest in the sport among local fans.
The PHF said Pakistan hockey is moving in the right direction, with international engagement and upcoming activities providing renewed optimism for the sport.
The latest talks in Brussels come as Pakistan seeks to rebuild its hockey program and establish a stronger presence in international competitions. Continued cooperation between the PHF, FIH and other national federations could prove important in achieving those objectives.
