History
The game of
Pakistan played their first international game in
However, the 1976 Olympics in Montreal had seen the introduction of artificial turf to international hockey competitions. Pakistan was unable to build many artificial turf pitches compared to the European sides, and thus the strength of the national side began declining slowly.[1][3]
Pakistan Hockey Super League
In February 2016, the Pakistan Hockey Federation initiated preparations for a domestic hockey league, to be played from October to November 2016, according to then Secretary Shahbaz Ahmed Senior. The former Olympian believed the development and growth of young Pakistani hockey players would rely on the success of the league, and this would help Pakistan regain its historic aura as a hockey-playing nation.[citation needed]
An autonomous board for the league was established in 2016. PHF President Khalid Sajjad Khokhar mentioned that the league would be sanctioned by the International Hockey Federation (FIH), adding that the PHF was in touch with the world hockey governing body to avoid any clashes with international events. The league was postponed after the government of Punjab refused to give an NOC to host the event in 2016.[citation needed]
In December 2017, it was announced that the Pakistan Hockey Super League - The Max was given an NOC. The inaugural season was slated to begin in April 2018, but was postponed to July 2018 due to the national team's participation in the 2018 Commonwealth Games, and the forthcoming month of Ramadan.[citation needed]
On 11 January 2022, the Pakistan Hockey Federation formally inaugurated the Pakistan Hockey Super League "THE MAX".[4][5]
