KARACHI Karachi Hockey Association (KHA) President Wasay Jalil on Friday initiated a programme in collaboration with the Pakistan Hockey Federation (PHF) for the promotion of hockey at the grassroots level.

KHA's successful holding of the 57th National Hockey Championship, the Inter-club Hockey Tournament and the PHF U-12 Tournament has given the association president enough confidence in his team to be able to unveil his next plan to promote club hockey.

The programme will also include the country's former players like Olympians Shahid Ali Khan and Iftikhar Syed, International Jan Mohammad, Asif Ahmed Khan, Ahsan Mohammad Khan and Mubashir Mukhtiar.

All have been requested to work together with the KHA team, that includes its secretary, chairman and other members besides the president himself, for the betterment of the players of Karachi.

“Having accepted the portfolio of president of KHA, I will keep on working for the promotion of hockey in the city while also looking after the players of this city,” he said.

While also announcing the installation of artificial grass soon at the KHA Sports Complex, Wasay Jalil added “We intend holding inter-school, inter-club, inter-academies and inter-town hockey tournaments in the city.”
