AFZAL JAVED ISLAMABAD: Pakistan has taken a major step towards hosting a landmark edition of the South Asian Games, with the South Asia Olympic Council (SAOC) formally approving the schedule and key arrangements for the 14th South Asian Games, to be held from April 3 to 11, 2027 in Islamabad, Lahore and Peshawar. The decision marks a significant milestone in Pakistan’s preparations to showcase its sporting strength, world-class hospitality and organizational capacity while bringing the athletes and Olympic family of South Asia together on Pakistani soil. The SAOC Executive Committee meeting, held in Islamabad and chaired by Arif Saeed, President of the SAOC and Pakistan Olympic Association (POA), was attended by representatives of the National Olympic Committees of Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal and Sri Lanka. The nine-day regional spectacle will feature 28 sports, with women competing in 25 disciplines, and a total of 346 medal events. Nearly 3,200 athletes are expected to compete as part of an overall delegation of around 4,200 athletes, officials and participants. Competitions will be staged across 28 venues in Islamabad, Lahore and Peshawar, providing Pakistan with an opportunity to present its modern sporting infrastructure and rich sporting culture to the region. The Executive Committee was briefed in detail on preparations in Lahore and Peshawar, while members will visit competition venues in Islamabad. The meeting also reviewed arrangements covering accommodation, transportation, venues, Games-time services and coordination among all stakeholders. Preparations are now entering the final phase, with Pakistan also gearing up for pre-launch activities and the 100 Days to Go milestone. Speaking on the occasion, Arif Saeed said Pakistan was fully prepared to host the South Asian Games and would leave no stone unturned to make the event a memorable experience for athletes, officials and visitors from across the region. He said the government was extending full support for the successful organization of the Games, while funds for the mega event have already been approved by the Prime Minister. The 14th South Asian Games will not only provide Pakistan’s athletes with a major home-ground opportunity but will also serve as a powerful platform to promote Pakistan’s positive image, strengthen regional sporting ties and demonstrate the country’s ability to host major international sporting events successfully.
