Syed Arif Hasan, President of the Pakistan Olympic Association (POA) said that they are now planning to host the event in March 2023 instead of 2022.<\/p>\n

While talking to reporters, Arif said that they are looking at five potential venues to host the mega event.<\/p>\n

“The Prime Minister of Pakistan Imran Khan has given go-ahead to host these events. Five main cities Lahore, Islamabad, Gujranwala, Sialkot, Faislabad are the venues but all the finalization will likely take place on Monday in a meeting with IPC Minister, Fehmida Mirza,” President POA said.<\/p>\n

Arif hailed PM Khan’s efforts and termed his supports as ‘unprecedented’. “PM Khan has taken a brilliant step and he listened to our and IPC Ministry’s\u00a0briefing. He has instructed us to hold the Games which should portray a strong image of Pakistan.”<\/p>\n

Arif is confident of getting a major chunk of money in holding the SA Games. “We are hopeful of raising money by sponsorships, broadcasting and other marketing strategies and the government will not be additionally overburdened.”<\/p>\n

“Army’s support will be major in holding these events and the Army is a unit of POA itself. They are also National Champions. They will be helping us just like they did in the past,” Arif concluded.<\/p>\n
