Pakistan’s Hockey Heroes are finally set to receive long-overdue recognition for their recent achievements. A special ceremony will soon be held in their honor, celebrating their dedication and success on the field. The initiative, led by Interior Minister and Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Chairman Mohsin Naqvi, aims to reward the players and revive national interest in hockey.
According to sources, each member of the national team will receive a cash prize of Rs. 1 million (10 lakh). This financial support will help ease the burden caused by the Pakistan Hockey Federation’s previous negligence. The announcement fulfills a promise made earlier by Mohsin Naqvi, who has shown strong commitment to supporting Pakistan’s hockey community.
In addition to cash rewards, the government plans to offer employment opportunities for players in various public departments. The move is designed to provide long-term stability and encourage more young athletes to pursue hockey professionally.
The ceremony, expected to take place in Islamabad, will be attended by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, along with other top officials. The final date will be confirmed once the Prime Minister’s schedule allows.
Mohsin Naqvi’s decision to personally host the event highlights the government’s renewed focus on restoring Pakistan’s legacy in field hockey—a sport that once brought home multiple Olympic and World Cup titles.
This recognition of Pakistan’s Hockey Heroes marks one of the most significant gestures of support for the sport in recent years. It not only rewards players for their hard work but also signals a fresh era of investment and attention toward hockey’s revival.
As these Hockey Heroes prepare for upcoming international challenges, the ceremony serves as a powerful reminder that the nation still values their skills, resilience, and contribution to Pakistan’s sporting pride.
