According to the original schedule announced by Chaudhry Arif Saeed of the Pakistan Olympic Association (POA), Karachi was ready to host the 35th National Games expected from May 1 to 9. However, due to the inevitable and critical conditions, including the heatwave, the incident has been postponed on the advice of the Sindh government.
Following the directives of the provincial government, the Sindh Olympic Association (SOA) formally postponed the mega sporting event, which was to be held at 21 places in Karachi Division. According to the SOA, the decision was made after a careful consideration of a number of factors, in which the extreme weather conditions are a fundamental concern.
The Department of Sindhiological Department issued a severe heatwave warning in early May, which poses a greater risk of heat stroke and heat -related diseases. These health risks pose a serious threat to 10,000 anticipated athletes and thousands of officials and fans. In addition, the collision with the students’ education exam schedules further affected the decision, as many parents and educational institutions raised concerns about participation in this important educational period.
In view of these legitimate concerns, the game is now temporarily held in the cold months of November or December 2025, which can ensure a safe and more comfortable environment for all stakeholders involved.
The inheritance of unity and sports virtues
Regardless of the postponement, national sports national integration have become a powerful symbol of empowerment and athletic virtues. Since his establishment in April 1948, these games have provided a united platform for players from across the country, to prepare for foster cameraderry and international competitions.
This year’s edition was particularly important as it identified the return of the National Sports to Karachi after an 18 -year break. Abdul -Tariq Edhi Hockey Stadium was selected to host a grand opening and closing ceremony, which identified the city’s historical role in Pakistan’s sports statement.
Extensive preparation by provincial troops
All provincial forces and departmental teams had already started complicated preparations for sports. Athletes of Punjab, under the supervision of Director General Sports Punjab Afzal Chaudhry, started two weeks of training camps at various places of Nishtar Park Sports Complex (NPSC), Lahore. The training camp was organized under the patronage of Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz, Punjab Sports Minister, and Secretary Sports and Youth Affairs Punjab, Muzaffar Khan Sial, all of which are enthusiastic supporters of sports development in the province.
DG Kaizer Afzal Chaudhry personally oversee these camps, inspected facilities, ensured high quality in training governments, and dirt and establishment arrangements. Direct involvement reflects the pledge of nurturing Punjab’s capabilities and being honored in national sports.
Punjab’s electoral trials pulled out inspirational turnout by both men and women athletes, which included articles such as athletics, hockey, Taekwondo, weightlifting, table tennis, tennis, swimming, karate and badminton. Meet -based choice has been a top priority in ensuring transparency and transparency in the formation of the team.
Sindh efforts to host a memorable program
On the host, the Sindh Olympic Association, with the strong support of the Sindh government, completed almost all all logistics and operational arrangements for sports. The province also finalized its contingent after running complete selection cases in various sectors, including bodybuilding and hockey. The Sindh Bodybuilding and Fitness Association played an active role in the selection of a competitive team through transparent trials.
About 10,000 athletes, including teams from the army, navy, air, and other departments, were expected to fight one of the largest sports gatherings in recent years. The program was also seen as a catalyst to restore Karachi’s sports culture, which is likely to re -establish the city’s importance on the national sports map.
Historical importance and the vision of Quaid -e -Azam
National games have a deep place in Pakistan’s sports history. The first edition took place in Karachi in April 1948, inaugurated by no one other than Quaid Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah. Despite the advice from his ill health and his physician, the father of the nation insisted on attending the opening ceremony as a special guest, later distributed medals along with Miss Fatima Jinnah at the closing ceremony.
During these opening games, their impressive message is still echoed today:
“Dedicate yourself to the promotion of sports, because when you and I go, the leadership will go into the hands of the youth. Youth is our wealth. It is a raw material that should be burned in steel and should try to struggle.
Since then, the National Sports has been prepared in the Premier Multi -Sports event in Pakistan, which has been organized under the Pakistan Olympic Association’s agencies in collaboration with the relevant federations and host provincial government.
Army dominance and Quaid-e-Azam Trophy
The Pakistan Army has historically dominated the national sports, and has won 28 of the 34 editions held so far. Another major game center, Lahore, has hosted the program ten times from any other city.
The Quaid-e-Azam Trophy, which was actually donated by the Quaid’s personal funds as a “Challenge Shield”, is given to the winning team in each edition.
In extraordinary circumstances, such as natural disasters or national emergencies, the Pakistan Olympic Association is given the option of changing sports schedules and regulations. In this case, the risk of public health justifies both and necessary.
Are looking forward to
Although the postponement has delayed the promise of a great celebration of the game, it has not reduced the spirit and enthusiasm of the players, organizers and the nation. The collective affiliation of all provinces and institutions ensures that when the 35th National Games will eventually compete in 2025, they will act not only as a competitive field but also as a dynamic expression of national unity, flexibility and pride.
