MULTAN
\nFormer international hockey player and umpire Kamran Sharif has voiced full support for PHF President Mir Tariq Bugti\u2019s proposal to establish an independent Pakistan Hockey Board, saying the move is vital to revive the national sport.
\nIn a statement, he said the existing federation setup has failed to meet modern demands, stressing that only a restructured, autonomous system can restore Pakistan\u2019s lost hockey glory. \u201cWe need to rebuild hockey from the foundation , not just train players but reform the entire structure,\u201d he emphasized.
\nSharif said Pakistan hockey owns several grounds, properties, and assets, but they remain underused. \u201cIf these resources are placed under the control of the new board, they could generate sustainable income, reducing the sport\u2019s reliance on government funding,\u201d he noted.
\nHe urged the government to transfer all hockey stadiums and facilities to the proposed board to ensure financial independence and transparent management. \u201cA self-reliant, professionally run Hockey Board is the only way forward for Pakistan hockey,\u201d Kamran Sharif concluded.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
