Rawalpindi has achieved a major sports milestone with the inauguration of its first-ever international-standard swimming pool equipped with modern facilities.
According to details, Punjab Minister for Sports Faisal Ayub Khokhar inaugurated the state-of-the-art swimming pool and a newly built players’ hostel in the city.
Speaking at the event, Khokhar announced plans to establish a multipurpose sports complex in Rawalpindi and vowed to expand similar projects to other districts across the province.
He shared that the players’ hostel was completed at a cost of Rs. 181 million and includes 80 beds along with advanced residential and training facilities for athletes. The construction of the swimming pool cost Rs. 217 million and features a modern water filtration system, heating, and timing technology designed to meet international competition standards.
Highlighting the Punjab government’s vision, Khokhar said the initiative reflects Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif’s commitment to improving sports infrastructure and promoting athletic excellence across the province.
He added that the renovation of the Liaquat Bagh Sports Complex is another example of the government’s efforts to revive and modernize sports facilities in Punjab.
