PRIME Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Tuesday launched the landmark Youth Sports Initiative which embodies a multifaceted approach to sports development. At the heart of this groundbreaking initiative lies the creation of the Sports Endowment Fund. This fund represents a crucial resource that will not only provide financial support for athletes but also act as a catalyst for sustainable sports development across the country. This will ensure that promising talents will no longer be hindered by financial constraints.

Perhaps one of the most significant milestones in this initiative is the establishment of the country’s first sports university in Islamabad. This move will help nurture a generation of well-rounded athletes, coaches and sports administrators. The university will serve as a hub of knowledge, fostering research, innovation and training in various sporting disciplines. As students graduate with expertise and leadership skills, the ripple effect will be felt throughout the entire sports ecosystem, elevating the quality of coaching, training facilities and sports management in the country. The Elite Sportsperson Development Program is another pivotal component of this initiative. By identifying and supporting the athletes who exhibit exceptional talent and potential, the government is providing them with the necessary resources and infrastructure to excel on the national and international stages. Through personalized training programs, access to top-notch facilities and exposure to renowned coaches, these athletes will be equipped to compete at the highest level and bring glory to the nation. Moreover, the Youth Sports Initiative recognizes the evolving landscape of sports in the digital era. By embracing e-sports as a legitimate and promising domain, the government is fostering an inclusive environment that caters to the interests of tech-savvy youth. E-sports have emerged as a global phenomenon and by promoting its growth in the country, the initiative not only engages a wider audience but also provides a platform for non-traditional athletes to showcase their skills and talents. If implemented in true letter and spirit, the initiative will definitely create a much needed sports ecosystem that empowers the youth and harnesses their potential.
