Heatwave Alert 2025: National Games Postponed Again Amid Heatwave & BIEK Exams Disrupted

The highly anticipated National Games Karachi 2025 have been officially postponed yet again, just under two weeks before their scheduled launch on May 1st. This decision follows concerns over an impending heatwave, soaring temperatures, and the ongoing Intermediate examinations taking place across Sindh.

The Sindh Olympic Association issued a formal notification to all concerned departments, confirming the delay and citing “unavoidable circumstances” as the reason behind the move. This marks the second time the event has been rescheduled — initially set for February 2025, it was pushed to May despite seasonal heat risks.

This year’s edition of the National Games held particular importance for Sindh, as the province was set to host the event for the first time in 18 years. With just 13 days to go, the postponement has left both participants and organizers in limbo, awaiting fresh dates.

Insiders linked to the organizing committee revealed that key preparations were still incomplete. Several sports facilities and complexes in Karachi remained underdeveloped or lacked necessary upgrades. Crucial elements such as the official logo of the National Games 2025 were not finalized, and the ceremonial torch relay had not been launched either.

Despite the known challenges of Karachi’s hot and humid May climate, the event was still re-slated for this period, raising questions about planning and foresight. Compounding the issue, organizers failed to factor in the pre-scheduled Intermediate board exams when finalizing the new dates.

With the postponement now confirmed, a new timeline for the National Games Karachi 2025 is expected to be announced soon. Athletes, sports authorities, and the general public now await further clarity on when the prestigious games will finally take place in the metropolis.
