Govt to provide resources for revival of hockey: Rana Sana Ullah
November 13, 2026

Prime Minister's Adviser on Inter Provincial Coordination Rana Sana Ullah Khan says the government is committed to providing all necessary resources and facilities to revive Pakistan's lost glory in international hockey.

He was speaking at the signing ceremony of an agreement between the Pakistan Hockey Federation and the International Hockey Federation in Islamabad today.

The Adviser said Pakistan once dominated world hockey and won several international titles, including World Cups and Olympic gold medals, but the country's performance has declined over the years.

He said Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has directed that all necessary support be extended to revive hockey and other sports, with special focus on restoring Pakistan's former standing in the game.

He assured that the government would extend full support to the Pakistan Hockey Federation and provide the resources required to implement a comprehensive revival programme.

He urged senior players and hockey enthusiasts to play an active role in bringing the country's national game back to its former glory.
