Sports Khuzdar
Introduction
In Khuzdar the sports sector requires much attention. There is only one stadium in the entire district, without proper facilities. The stadium includes two football fields. Young players often use open spaces for their sports activities. There is an officer's club for recreational activities of the government officers. Membership of this club is limited to the officers. They play chess, playing cards, table tennis and badminton. At school, college and university levels students are engaged in football and cricket. In girls’ schools, indoor sports activities are carried out.
GO/NGO/Private Enterprise, etc. involvement in Sports Development
The role of government in sports is limited. In educational institutions, students are provided limited sports facilities. There is much potential among the youth, if the sports facilities are provided. NGOs and CBOs could also play a role in the development of the sports sector.

Conclusion and major Development Issues
The youth of the district has much potential in sports. The sports activities are limited only to school, college and university. This situation can be improved by involving NGOs and CBOs. A number of NGOs are working in this sector, but due to lack of funds and technical assistance their activities are very limited. Lack of co-ordination between the government and NGOs is also a major issue in this sector.
