Pakistan is set to formally urge the Commonwealth Games Federation (CGF) to reconsider the exclusion of hockey and wrestling from the 2026 Commonwealth Games. The decision to drop these sports has sparked concerns across several nations, especially those with strong legacies in these disciplines. Pakistan, with its rich history in hockey and emerging wrestling talent, believes these sports are integral to the Games’ spirit and tradition. Hockey’s absence is particularly significant, given its long-standing role in fostering Commonwealth sportsmanship. The country plans to rally support from other affected nations, advocating for the inclusion of these pivotal sports, which not only promote healthy competition but also resonate deeply with the global sporting community. Pakistan’s sporting authorities hope that this appeal will lead to a reversal of the decision, ensuring that future athletes continue to have the opportunity to compete on this prestigious international stage
