Pakistan Hockey in Crisis: Players Boycott FIH Pro League Over ‘PKR 11,000 Daily Allowance’ Dispute

Pakistan’s national hockey team is on the brink of a major crisis. Senior players are threatening to boycott the upcoming FIH Pro League matches unless their payment grievances are addressed. The core issue? A broken promise over daily allowances. While players claim they were assured PKR 11,000 per day during their tour of Argentina, they reportedly received far less—triggering outrage and allegations of financial mismanagement. The Pakistan Hockey Federation (PHF) blames the Pakistan Sports Board’s outdated USD 40 daily cap, but athletes say that’s no excuse for broken trust. This isn’t just about money—it’s about dignity, professionalism, and the future of a sport once synonymous with national pride.
