The Pakistan Sports Board (PSB) has issued a statement to clarify that there is no recognized Padel Federation affiliated with the Board. This clarification comes after the PSB noticed that some individuals and groups were misusing its name to promote padel-related activities across the country. Specifically, a group claiming to be the “Pakistan Padel Federation” is organizing a National Padel Championship 2026 in Karachi, which has caused confusion among the public.<\/p>\n
The PSB has identified that these individuals are falsely claiming that participation in the event could lead to selection for Pakistan’s team for the Asian Games 2026 in Japan. However, the Board categorically states that it has not granted any permission or recognition to anyone to select athletes or represent Pakistan in padel at any international event. The PSB confirms that all such claims are false, unauthorized, and without legal standing.<\/p>\n
The PSB is advising athletes and parents to be cautious and not trust such claims. The Board makes it clear that participation in events organized by unrecognized entities will not be recognized or endorsed by the PSB. To verify the authenticity of any sports federation or body, the PSB has directed athletes and the public to visit its official website, where an updated list of affiliated, suspended, and banned federations and bodies is available.<\/p>\n
The PSB’s statement aims to protect athletes from being misled and to maintain the integrity of sports in Pakistan. By issuing this clarification, the Board is ensuring that only recognized and authorized entities are allowed to organize events and select athletes to represent Pakistan at international competitions. The PSB’s warning is a reminder to athletes and parents to be vigilant and to verify the authenticity of any sports organization or event before participating. By doing so, the PSB is promoting fair play and transparency in sports, and safeguarding the interests of athletes and the sports community in Pakistan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
