The president of the Pakistan Hockey Federation (PHF), Khalid Sajjad Khokhar, has announced the launch of the inaugural edition of the Pakistan Hockey League, stating that it has been in the works for the past two years.

While sharing the details of the league in a presser, Khalid Khokhar said, “I am very proud to announce the first Pakistan Hockey League today. In the beginning, it will be a challenge for us but it is a milestone.”

As per the details, the league will be held in Lahore at the end of this year while a total of five teams including one each from Lahore, Karachi, Quetta Peshawar, and Islamabad will play in the league. The league will continue for 20 days.
