The Pakistan Sports Board (PSB) has officially asked the Pakistan Hockey Federation (PHF) to submit complete details of the foreign trips taken by its president and secretary, along with the financial expenditures involved.

 

According to reports, the Pakistan Sports Board (PSB) recently issued a letter to the PHF stating that it is the federation’s responsibility, not the board’s, to cover the travel and daily allowances (TA/DA) of players and officials during foreign tours.

 

The letter specifically mentioned the Nations Cup held in Malaysia, where the issue of unpaid TA/DA to national players was raised. The PSB noted that PHF has still not provided a detailed account of the funds it received last year, despite repeated verbal and written reminders sent to the federation's top officials.

 

The PHF acknowledged in a written statement on May 30, 2025, that it had sufficient funds in its bank account, yet players were not paid their daily allowances. On June 20, the PSB formally sought clarification on the matter, but no response has been received to date.

 

The PSB has now asked the PHF to submit a full financial record, including bank statements for the past six months, as well as detailed information on all foreign trips undertaken by the president and secretary during that time and the expenses incurred.

 

Additionally, the PSB has requested information about the establishment of PHF's new office in Islamabad, including proof of approval from the federation's executive board.
