The most recent development in Pakistan's sports news involves the Pakistan hockey team's troubled tour in Australia for the FIH Pro League, as reported by Tribune Home on February 13, 2026. The team faced significant logistical challenges, including being left without accommodation and meals due to administrative failures by the Pakistan Hockey Federation (PHF). The team's initial travel plans were disrupted when Australian immigration authorities rejected their visa applications due to incorrectly filled forms. After resolving these issues, the team traveled on February 5, only to face further difficulties upon arrival in Sydney, where they endured a 12 to 13-hour layover without proper arrangements for accommodation or meals. The situation worsened in Hobart, where their hotel booking was canceled due to non-payment, forcing the team to arrange low-cost Airbnb accommodations independently. This incident has sparked outrage and raised serious questions about the PHF's ability to manage international tours and ensure athlete welfare.
