The Punjab government has launched the Punjab Rising Stars Portal, an online platform designed to identify promising young athletes from across the province. Developed by the Punjab Information Technology Board (PITB) in collaboration with the Sports Board Punjab, this initiative aims to connect talented players with opportunities for training and development.
Athletes can register on the portal to present their skills, experience, and achievements. The platform covers a wide range of sports including cricket, hockey, football, badminton, karate, and others. According to officials, the portal will help in identifying suitable athletes for trials, coaching programs, and other development initiatives.
Interested applicants can follow these steps to register: first, visit the official website at risingstars.punjab.gov.pk; second, select the registration option; third, enter personal details such as contact information; and finally, add sports-related information. The portal is open for all young athletes living in Punjab, regardless of their experience level or background.
While the platform offers various opportunities like professional coaching, talent identification, training, skill development, access to sports facilities, mentorship, and e-sports programs, registration does not guarantee selection. Applicants are advised to provide accurate information about their achievements to increase their chances of being considered for relevant opportunities.
There is no set closing date for the registration process; interested athletes should register as early as possible and continue checking the official portal for notices about trials, coaching programs, and other activities. The Punjab government emphasizes that honesty in providing details is crucial to avoid disqualification from the program.
The initiative aims to make talent identification more transparent and connect young athletes with opportunities for training, development, and recognition. By leveraging technology, the platform seeks to streamline the process of identifying and nurturing potential sports talents across Punjab.
