Junior hockey squad issued NOC

LAHORE: The government has issued NOC to the Pakistan Junior team for taking part in the Junior World Hockey Cup scheduled to be held in India from Dec 8 to 18.

The government permission was in doubt due to strain political relations between Pakistan and India. However, Pakistan Hockey Federation (PHF) secretary Shahbaz Ahmad Senior confirmed that the government had issued the NOC to the IPC Ministry, stating that now all was set to send the team to India.

The PHF secretary further said that the training camp of the Pakistan Junior team was already in progress at the Johar Stadium here.

Shahbaz said that the mega event was an important one and participation in it was essential.
