The National Games Karachi 2025 have been postponed once again, just days before they were set to begin. Originally scheduled for May 1st in Karachi, the games have been delayed due to extreme heat, an expected heatwave, and the ongoing Intermediate board exams across Sindh.
According to the Sindh Olympic Association, a formal letter was issued today to all relevant departments, stating that the National Games 2025 were being postponed due to unavoidable circumstances. This marks the second delay, as the event was initially planned for February 2025, then shifted to May despite rising temperatures.
The National Games Karachi 2025 were just 13 days away from kick-off. This event was especially significant for Sindh, as the province had secured the hosting rights for the first time in 18 years. But now, uncertainty surrounds the new schedule.
Sources close to the organizing committee have claimed that preparations for the National Games 2025 were incomplete. Many sports venues in Karachi, including major sports complexes, had not been upgraded. In addition, the official National Games 2025 logo hadn’t been finalized, and the torch relay ceremony was also not initiated.
Despite the fact that the May weather in Karachi is typically hot and humid, the event was still moved to this period, raising concerns about planning and coordination. Also, the dates for the Intermediate exams had been announced months in advance, yet were not taken into consideration while rescheduling.
Now, with the delay confirmed, the new dates for National Games Karachi 2025 will be announced later. The public, athletes, and sports officials are waiting for clarity on when the National Games in Karachi will finally take place.
Stay tuned for more updates on National Games Karachi 2025 schedule, venues, and new dates as they are announced.
