The cash strapped PHF is hoping that after the offer by Hockey India to help Pakistan come out of its financial crisis, the country’s government will finally come out of its slumber and release the much-needed funds for the national game. “We have called a meeting on Monday to discuss the Indian hockey offer which is very gracious of them but obviously we want our government to help bail out hockey at this time,” Mujahid said.
HI had said that it was concerned with news reports about Pakistan being unable to send their team for the Olympic qualifying tournament in Holland due to financial crisis. “We need money to send our team for these tours and for the Olympic qualifying tournament in June and right now honestly speaking our financial situation is very very bad which is why we were forced to temporarily close the national camp,” Mujahid said.
