The roster features Olympic mainstays such as athletics, swimming, gymnastics and fencing, alongside Pakistan’s popular competitive events including kabaddi, tug of war, netball and boxing. Team sports notably football, hockey, basketball, rugby and volleyball are set to draw large audiences across multiple venues in the city.
Racquet sports including badminton, tennis, table tennis and squash complement the schedule, while strength-based contests such as weightlifting, wrestling and bodybuilding round out the Games’ more physically demanding categories.
Organisers said the full schedule, venues and competition formats will be announced in stages, with results and highlights to be shared through NOC Pakistan’s official platforms.
The National Games, held periodically since 1948, remain one of the country’s most significant multi-sport events, often serving as a stepping stone toward international selection.
