In the previous PML-N government\u2019s tenure, over 20 hockey stadiums were constructed and astro turfs were laid across the country. This year would see a significant boost in sports promotion, he added. Abbasi expressed these views during a visit to Viqar-un-Nisa Post Graduate College, where he also announced the establishment of a hockey academy. He promised to provide all necessary facilities and coaching to the academy, with the help of Olympian Khawaja Junaid. Abbasi said the PML-N government had always supported sports and athletes, and this initiative was also part of that commitment. Khawaja Junaid, who was also present on the occasion, lauded Abbasi\u2019s efforts in constructing hockey grounds across the country and expressed his full support for the hockey academy. The hockey academy will start functioning within the next 10 days. A cricket academy has already been established in Viqar-un-Nisa Post Graduate College in collaboration with the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB). The college will provide the necessary infrastructure and players, while Khawaja Junaid\u2019s hockey academy will provide the necessary equipment, including hockey sticks, balls, goalkeepers\u2019 kits, and qualified coaches. This initiative was a significant step towards promoting hockey and providing opportunities to young athletes to excel in the sport.
