Hannan Shahid Stuns at Asian Hockey Championship
Hockey is Pakistan’s national sport, but it often gets less attention than cricket. The hockey team has struggled with poor facilities and frequent changes in management, especially compared to the well-funded cricket teams and other sports.
Hannan Shahid is a rising star in hockey, playing for both the junior and senior national teams. He started his hockey career in 2021 and has quickly gained recognition. Hannan comes from a family of hockey players and has made a big impact. He was named the Emerging Player of Asia for both 2022 and 2023. He also led his team as captain at the Junior World Cup in Johor Bahru and was the best player in the Junior Asian Cup.
In an interview, Hannan said, “Our performance is nearly as good as the top international teams, but we still have a big gap in terms of facilities and support.”
Hannan Shahid thanked PTCL Group for its ongoing support and stressed that top brands should support national sports. He also pointed out the need for stability in the hockey federation, mentioning the problems caused by frequent changes in management and coaching.
Hannan encouraged children to get involved in sports, whether it’s hockey or something else, as a way to stay healthy. He also suggested that schools should promote sports and create teams to get young people more interested in athletics.
Hannan is a valuable player for Pakistan and deserves more attention and support to help bring respect and success to hockey. His achievements and hard work show his talent and give hope for the future of the Pakistan hockey team. His commitment and skills will inspire young athletes, proving that with the right backing, hockey can thrive and make a strong impression on the world stage.
