PHF plans to hold Pakistan Hockey Super League in October
The federation released the calendar for hockey activities in 2020 with the Pakistan Hockey Super League slated to be held in October.
The Pakistan Hockey Federation is once again looking forward to hosting its franchise-based league after failing to do it despite plans last year.
The PHSL’s inaugural edition was to be held last year, but with the PHF’s reputation marred with allegations of corruption and political turmoil in the body, it was inevitable to get cancelled.
However, if the PHF successfully conducts the league this year, it would help the federation regain some of its lost credibility and financial strength.
The PHF’s 2020 calendar also confirmed the national team will not feature in any world-level tournament this year. The men’s national side will take part in the Asian Championships set to be held in Dhaka, Bangladesh in November. Pakistan will also feature in the Azlan Shah Cup, Junior Asian Championship and the Women’s Junior championship this year.
The domestic calendar, along with the PHSL, features the national championships for both men and women and 11 all-Pakistan tournaments will also be organised.
A good number of 20 tournaments for different age groups are also scheduled for 2020. The calendar year will start with the sixth National Junior Women’s Championship carded for Lahore in the month of February.
