ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Sports Board (PSB) Director General Dr Arshad Mahmood Thursday expressed his resolve to keep supporting the training camp for aspirants of the Asian Indoor and Martial Art Games even though the Games’ organisers in consultation with the Olympic Council of Asia (OCA) have decided to postpone the event scheduled to be held in Bangkok and Chonburi province from May 21, 2021.
The Games will now be held from March 10-20, 2022.
To discuss the issue of athletes’ training, the representatives of the ten federations had a detailed meeting with the director general PSB.
“Though we know that the Games have been postponed till early next year, yet we are willing to support the federations’ camps meant for training of the athletes. The federations’ officials have shared their reservations and concerns with me as I had given them the opportunity to speak their heart out, however some of their concerns were surprising,” Dr Arshad said.
