Overview
The 18th Amendment to Pakistan's constitution passed in 2010 brought substantial alterations to the country's sports landscape.[2] Consequently, it caused a transformation in the framework and functioning of sports in Pakistan.[3] Among these changes was the decentralization of various federal ministries to the provinces. This encompassed the Ministry of Sports, which was devolved as part of the third and concluding phase of the 18th Amendment.[4] The Pakistan Sports Board, which is responsible for controlling and promoting sports in the country, operates under the Ministry of Inter Provincial Coordination.[5]
