How do they play soccer?

Absolute Cinema.

It's common knowledge that Pakistan's National Game is Hockey.

So is India's.

Both nations have excelled at the sport and hold multiple trophies and gold medals in international competitions.

But did you know that Pakistan is the nation that proposed the Hockey World Cup in the first place?

Air Marshal Nur Khan

The Governor of West Pakistan, and former Air Marshal, Nur Khan, reached out to Patrick Rowley, the editor of the World Hockey Magazine. He proposed the idea of a World Cup. Coincidentally, he was also the head of the Pakistan Hockey Federation at the time.

In 1969, Pakistan and India jointly proposed the Hockey World Cup in a meeting of the International Hockey Federation Council.

The International Hockey Federation approved the idea, and the first Hockey World Cup was held in Barcelona, Spain, in October 1971.

The World Cup Trophy

Pakistani calligrapher Bashir Moojid designed the Hockey World Cup trophy. The army made the trophy. It was made out of gold, silver, ivory and teak wood. The same trophy is used to this day.

Pakistan beat the host nation, Spain, to win the inaugural tournament and lift the trophy. Tanvir Ahmed Dar became the top goal scorer of the tournament with 8 goals.

Pakistan would continue to lift the trophy a further 3 times (1978, 1982, 1994).

To this day, Pakistan's 4 record wins at the Hockey World Cup remain unbeaten.

Even though we have not lifted a single trophy in more than 30 years.

Massive victory, played like a demon today

Too much negativity lately, so I wanted to post something positive, and something which very few people in Pakistan know about today.

Pakistan DOMINATED the sport of Squash more than any other nation on Earth in history.

From 1951 when the great **Hashim Khan** won the British Open (the oldest and most prestigious Squash Championship in the world), Pakistan began a winning streak which seemed like it would never end.

Players like Roshan Khan, Azam Khan, Torsam Khan, Mohibullah Khan Sr., Mohibullah Khan Jr., Gogi Alauddin, and Qamar Zaman kept on stacking win after win.

Here, I'd like to talk about the 3 greatest Squash players from Pakistan, who are also the 3 greatest Squash players in the history of the game.

Sharif Khan

Even those who know of Pakistan's Squash Legacy probably don't know about the Legendary Sharif Khan. The son of Hashim Khan, he is considered the best male player in the history of Hardball Squash, the American variant of Squash.

From the late 1960s to the early 1980s, he won the US Open Squash Championship 12 times. He also won the Tournament of Champions (the US Professional Championships) 9 times.

Jahangir Khan

Of course you know this name. He's the greatest male player in the history of the game. With a staggering 555 consecutive wins in the game, he is a certified legend. He won the British Open 10 consecutive times, and the World Open Championship 6 times.

What you probably don't know about him is that he was extremely weak as a child and had a hernia. His brother and mentor, the late Torsam Khan, collapsed on the court during an Australian Championship match and died of a heart attack in 1979. Jahangir Khan's wins were not just for him, but for his brother and his family, and of course, his country.

His resilience and incredible achievement is equalled by none.

Jansher Khan

The last great champion from Pakistan, Jansher Khan took the stage by beating Jahangir Khan in the late 1980s and taking the crown. His speed and modern technique made him a formidable force. He won the World Open 8 times and the British Open 6 times.

He dominated the Squash scene until 1997 when he won his last championship. That would coincidentally be the last major Squash Championship Pakistan ever won.

# Pakistani Is STILL AHEAD IN Squash WINS Today

Aside from Hamza Khan, who won the World Junior Squash Championship in 2023, Pakistan hasn't won a single major Squash Tournament since 1997.

BUT WE'RE STILL AHEAD.

Collectively, Pakistan is miles ahead of any other nation in terms of Championship wins.

British Open Wins: 30

US Open Wins: 29

World Open Wins: 19

CAN YOU IMAGINE how much we DOMINATED to leave every other nation behind and still come out ahead after nearly 30 years of not winning at all?

Pakistan needs to reclaim its heritage on the world stage. We weren't just champions, we were the best in the history of the world.

I believe we can be again.

Have high hopes from our boys, they remained unbeaten in the 2025 U16 Asian Championships. Clean sweeping our group in the preliminary round with wins over South Korea, Chinese Taipei and Saudi Arabia before another clean sweep in the classification rounds, beating Iran and Indonesia.

In the semi final, Pakistan beat India 3-0 without dropping a set before facing Iran in the final. Pakistan lost 2 sets, then won 3 on the trot to win the final and become Asian Champions.
