PHF menawarkan hadiah uang 'besar' kepada tim hoki PAK setelah finis ketiga di ACT 2024

Piala Champions Hoki Asia: PHF mengumumkan hadiah $100 untuk setiap pemain dan tim Pakistan menempati posisi ketiga.

Pakistan hockey team has been in focus for quite some time now. Of course, the team stunned one and all to clinch the bronze medal at the recently concluded Asian Champions Trophy Hockey tournament, but there were a few negatives that made the headlines too. Firstly, Roelant Oltmans left the team midway, and then some key players were missing in action from the competition. That’s not it, Pakistan went to China on loaned tickets too.

PHF Rewards Pakistani Team

PHF President Tariq Bugti’s reward for Pakistan’s 3rd place in the ACT is a staggering $100 per player! Because clearly, a princely sum of $100 is the ultimate way to celebrate a podium finish. Bravo, PHF, for this generosity! 🏑😏

But despite that, they went ahead of teams like Japan, Korea and Malaysia to finish third, after losing to China in the semis. For this ‘stupendous’ achievement, the Pakistan Hockey Federation (PHF) has come up with a ‘generous’ reward for the players. Allegedly, the PHF president Tariq Bugti has announced a reward of $100 per player.
