Six departmental and four provincial teams are probably going to take an interest in the 5-a-side competition that Pakistan Hockey Federation (PHF) expects to arrange in August-September.
It will be the principal local hockey movement in the nation since the flare-up of COVID-19 in March this year. PHF has already sent a communique to the federal and the provincial governments, seeking permissions for hockey activities and COVID-19-related protocols.
The PHF plans to hold this 5-a-side competition in Karachi, Lahore or Gojra.
Karachi is by all accounts the perfect spot for the occasion where all things required for fruitful holding of any game is effectively accessible.
The PHF needs to compose most matches under floodlights in order to attract spectators, sources said.
A source said that if the tournament was to be organised in Karachi, it would not be held at Abdul Sattar Edhi hockey stadium as its condition is not good enough. PHF will finalise where it is to hold the event when it gets a response from the authorities, the source said.
