Its mandate includes national team selection, oversight of specialized training protocols, and the establishment of strict standards for coaches and players.<\/p>\n<p>For long-term administrative selection, a Professional Advisory Committee will also operate under the joint leadership of the two former Olympians. Other members of the committee will be appointed in consultation with them.<\/p>\n<p>To ensure focused oversight, PHF has separated corporate governance, marketing and resource mobilization from technical hockey affairs.<\/p>\n<p>The newly appointed members of the governance committee include Captain Farukh Atiq, responsible for human resources and finance; Shakil Shah (Member Customs), for departmental coordination and outreach; Amir Ibrahim (CEO Jazz), for corporate and marketing support; Ghulam Ali Malah (ED IBC), for promoting sports at school and college level; and Brigadier (Retd.) Akmal Aziz, for services and institutional coordination.<\/p>\n<p>All members of the governance committee will serve on an honorary basis, dedicating their expertise to the revival and advancement of Pakistan hockey.<\/p>\n<p>A PHF spokesperson described the initiative as a transitional roadmap to correct the course of the federation. Emphasising that there are no shortcuts to success, the spokesperson said progress would depend on clarity of direction and seriousness of effort. The federation plans to mobilise institutions to strengthen grassroots-level engagement.<\/p>\n<p>The structural reforms reflect PHF\u2019s commitment to transparency and professional merit, with the aim of equipping the national sport with the corporate and technical support required for a return to the international stage. The federation expressed optimism that the changes will bring positive transformation and help restore Pakistan hockey\u2019s former stature.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Pakistan Hockey Federation (PHF) has announced the formation of an ad hoc governance and management committee as part of a strategic restructuring aimed at modernizing administration and improving hockey standards across the country.
