00:00News came on Manjar-e-Aam, where we spoke to the President of the Hockey Federation.

00:08According to him, the Pakistan Hockey Team has gone to China to play a tournament.

00:13They did not have the money for the tickets. Funds were not released on time.

00:18As a result, they had to pay all this money on their own.

00:21It has happened in the past that they have to pay for the tickets.

00:25And after a while, they get reimbursed.

00:27What has been said about this?

00:30This is happening every time with hockey.

00:33Although they know that they have to participate, but we are not given payments on time.

00:38We have to take credit and then they say that they are ready to pay.

00:44You have to pay in 2-4 months.

00:46I don't have money right now.

00:48When the kids are playing there, they are asking me before they leave.

00:52Sir, when will our tickets come in our accounts?

00:55It took us 4 months to get the tickets.

01:00I had told people for a month, but it took 4 months to get the tickets.

01:06We have to go for the Asian Championships.

01:09It will happen after a month.

01:11We have to participate in that too.

01:14The Pakistan Sports Board has come forward.

01:17They say that these matters are not right.

01:20They have strongly objected to this issue.

01:22The Pakistan Sports Board has always supported the national hockey team.

01:25And has issued a sum of 96 million rupees.

01:28In which the team has also participated in international competitions.

01:31The claim of the Pakistan Hockey Federation is completely baseless.

01:34That the Pakistan Sports Board is hindering their funding.

01:37We have approved financial aid for 19 players and 4 officials.

01:42Contrary to the allegations of the Pakistan Hockey Federation,

01:45The Pakistan Sports Board had expressed its consent to pay for the national hockey team's tickets.

01:50Provided that the actual receipts are collected.

01:53The PSB also held a three-week training camp for the players at Naseer Banda Hockey Stadium.

01:59Which proves that the PSB was committed to the preparation of the team.

02:03The delay in the issuance of funds was due to the lack of time on the required documents from the Pakistan Hockey Federation.

02:09Although the PSB supports the national hockey team, it is not obliged to fulfill every financial request.

02:14According to the PHF, the federation has the responsibility to collect its funds.

02:19Is this the first time that the Pakistan Hockey team is going through such a crisis?

02:24Let's share some news with you.

02:26Some are of the past, some are of the present.

02:28On May 21, 2024, we saw that the Pakistan Hockey team was delayed in getting a visa.

02:34And there is a possibility that the schedule match with Holland will be affected.

02:38In 2014, we saw that due to the lack of funds, the team was threatened not to send to Malaysia.

02:45In 2014, we saw that due to the lack of funds, the team was threatened not to send to Malaysia.

02:52In February 2024, we saw that the hockey players did not receive their salaries for six months.

02:58This is also a complaint.

03:00In May 2023, the foreign national head coach resigned due to financial problems.

03:06So there is a problem somewhere.

03:08Things are not so smooth.

03:10But anyway, the Pakistan Sports Board says that in this crisis, they had fully facilitated the hockey team.

03:16And the wrong statements are being made by them.

03:19It is our responsibility to keep their position in mind.
