The move is aimed at ensuring that only genuine and active clubs participate in the electoral process.<\/p>\n<p>As part of the scrutiny process, the PSB has asked all affiliated hockey clubs to provide detailed information about their activities, management, and membership. The clubs are required to submit documents such as their registration certificates, minutes of meetings, and lists of office bearers and members.<\/p>\n<p>The PSB has also formed a committee to verify the information provided by the clubs and to check their credentials. The committee will visit the clubs to assess their infrastructure, training facilities, and overall activities.<\/p>\n<p>The scrutiny process is expected to be completed soon, and the PSB will then finalize the list of eligible clubs that can participate in the PHF elections. The elections are scheduled to take place soon, and the winner will take over the reins of the PHF for the next term.<\/p>\n<p>The PSB&#8217;s move to scrutinize hockey clubs is seen as a positive step towards reforming the sport in Pakistan. The PHF has been plagued by controversies and mismanagement in the past, and the PSB&#8217;s efforts are aimed at ensuring that only genuine and dedicated clubs are involved in the sport.<\/p>\n<p>The scrutiny process is also expected to help in weeding out fake or dormant clubs that have been affiliated with the PHF in the past. These clubs have been criticized for compromising the integrity of the sport and for not contributing to its development.<\/p>\n<p>The PHF elections are expected to be contested by several candidates, and the winner will face the challenge of reviving Pakistan&#8217;s hockey fortunes. Pakistan was once a dominant force in international hockey, but the sport has declined in recent years due to mismanagement and lack of investment.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, the PSB&#8217;s scrutiny of hockey clubs is a welcome move that can help in reforming the sport and ensuring that only genuine and dedicated clubs are involved in the PHF elections. The move is expected to have a positive impact on the sport and to help in reviving Pakistan&#8217;s hockey fortunes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Pakistan Sports Board (PSB) has started scrutinizing hockey clubs ahead of the upcoming Pakistan Hockey Federation (PHF) elections.
