Lack Of Funds Limits Pakistan’s Asian Games Participation
The Pakistan Sports Board (PSB), the body responsible for arranging funds for athletes to feature in international events, has directed various federations to reduce their squads or arrange for their own funding for the Asian Games to be held in Aichi-Nagoya, Japan, from September 19 to October 4, Telecom Asia Sport said in a report.
“It is a big jolt for various athletes who have been extensively preparing for the Games as they will either be left out or will have to run from pillar to post to arrange for the funds,” sources told www.telecomsia.net. “All the Federations have been told by the PSB that we are slashing the contingent size and withdrawing financial support from several athletes, coaches, and support personnel who had already been cleared to participate.”
