The Pakistan Sports Board (PSB) has clarified that no Pakistan Padel Federation is currently recognized or affiliated with the Board. The federation’s affiliation is still under process in compliance with the directions of the Honourable High Court of Sindh at Karachi.

Until the process is completed, no individual or organization is authorized to use the name “Pakistan Padel Federation,” organize official national championships or ranking tournaments, or announce and send Pakistan teams to international competitions.

The PSB further clarified that ranking tournaments conducted by the unauthorized federation have no official status, while any claims regarding player selection or international representation are not authorized by the Board.

The advisory urges athletes, parents, coaches, clubs, and stakeholders to exercise caution, verify claims of official recognition, and avoid participating in unauthorized events or selection processes.
