Punjab to Host Historic Khelta Punjab Pink Games This October

LAHORE (September 2025): Punjab is preparing to make sporting history with the launch of the Khelta Punjab Pink Games, the province’s biggest-ever women’s sporting event. Scheduled for the last week of October, the landmark competition will see over 3,000 female athletes from all divisions of Punjab showcase their talent.


A Landmark for Women’s Sports in Punjab

The announcement came after a high-level meeting chaired by Punjab Minister for Sports Faisal Ayub Khokhar, attended by Sports Secretary Muzaffar Sial and Director General Sports Khizar Afzal Chaudhry. The session reviewed logistics, planning, and preparations to ensure smooth execution.

“This will be Punjab’s largest women’s sports event with participation from more than 3,000 athletes across the province,” said Minister Khokhar. He emphasized that the Pink Games highlight the government’s commitment to gender equality and empowerment through sports.


Games and Disciplines

While the final list of disciplines will be confirmed soon, popular sports such as:

  • Athletics

  • Hockey

  • Basketball

  • Archery

  • Tape-ball Cricket

  • Badminton

  • Table Tennis

are expected to feature in the competition, just like previous editions.


More Than Just Sports

Officials stress that the Khelta Punjab Pink Games are not only about competition but also part of a broader initiative to:

  • Expand sports facilities across Punjab

  • Address gender disparities in athletics

  • Provide young athletes with a pathway to national and international platforms

With millions in prize money on offer, the event is set to boost motivation and recognition for women athletes across the province.


A New Era of Inclusivity

Punjab has already made steady progress in promoting women’s sports through inter-school and inter-college tournaments. However, the Pink Games are being hailed as a historic breakthrough that will set new standards for inclusivity and opportunity in the province.

Preparations are in full swing, and with just weeks to go, the Khelta Punjab Pink Games promise to become a flagship event on the provincial sporting calendar — combining athletic excellence with a powerful message of empowerment and equality.
