ISLAMABAD: The Pakistan Olympic Association (POA) General Council has proposed to hold the 14th South Asian Games in November 2025, just a month after the completion of the National Games.

The POA General Council was held the other day in Lahore under the chairmanship of Syed Mohammad Abid Qadri Gillani (President POA). It has been proposed that the National Games be organised in October 2025, followed by the South Asian Games, which are proposed to take place in November 2025.

The General Council also approved a letter issued by the POA, in which the association responded to allegations regarding its internal governance. The letter, backed by facts, dates, and documents, refuted the allegations, asserting that all relevant documentation concerning statutes, rules, and membership were sent to all stakeholders within the stipulated timelines.
