ISLAMABAD, Sep 23 (APP):Commander Central Punjab, Rear Admiral Sohail Ahmad Azmie, on Tuesday announced that the Chief of the Naval Staff All Pakistan Hockey Tournament will be held from September 25 to October 4, 2025, at the National Hockey Stadium, Lahore.
Briefing the media about the event, Commander Central Punjab said sports play a vital role in instilling discipline, patience, and tolerance in society.
He said that the Pakistan Navy provides its officers and sailors equal opportunities to engage in healthy activities, enabling them to represent Pakistan nationally and internationally.
He further stated that while hockey’s past has been glorious, the game has unfortunately declined due to numerous reasons. Pakistan Navy has been organising this tournament in collaboration with Pakistan Hockey Federation to promote hockey and to express national unity since 2016.
The 3rd Chief of the Naval Staff All Pakistan Hockey Tournament was successfully held in Karachi in 2021 and received high acclaim.
Eight top teams, including Pakistan Army, Pakistan Navy, Pakistan Air Force, Mari Engineers, Rangers, Police, Port Qasim and National Bank of Pakistan, are participating in the 4th edition of CNS All Pakistan Hockey Tournament.
Commander Central Punjab underscored that the tournament will provide players with an excellent platform to showcase their talent, raise awareness about the significance of hockey among youth and offer thrilling contests for spectators.
Pakistan Navy will also award cash prizes to the top three teams, along with special prizes for the Best Player, Top Scorer, and Best Goalkeeper of the tournament.
He also expressed heartfelt gratitude to the Pakistan Hockey Federation, Sports Board Punjab, Sponsors and the management of National Hockey Stadium Lahore for extending full support to Pakistan Navy in organising this event.
