The Pakistan Hockey Federation (PHF) has announced a significant increase in the daily allowance provided to players and officials during international tours, raising it to $110 per day. This move reflects the federation’s commitment to improving the welfare and dignity of its team members as they prepare for upcoming global competitions.
In addition to the allowance hike, the PHF has allocated dedicated funds to support preparations for several major events on the horizon. These include the crucial Cairo qualifiers, the Junior Asia Cup, and the prestigious Hockey World Cup. The federation is focused on ensuring that the national teams are well-equipped and ready to compete at the highest level.
Meanwhile, the PHF has also enhanced logistical and travel arrangements for the teams participating in the FIH Pro League and other international tours. These improvements are designed to provide smoother and more efficient support for players and officials during their overseas engagements.
In a significant development, the federation emphasized that these measures are part of a broader strategy to boost Pakistan’s performance in international hockey by prioritizing the comfort and professional needs of its athletes and staff. This initiative is expected to contribute positively to the teams’ morale and overall preparedness as they represent the country on the global stage.
