Punjab Olympic Association
The national body is the Pakistan Muay Thai Federation (PMF) which aims to promote and develop Muay Thai in Pakistan. pakistanmuaythai.org.pk
The provincial level counterpart — the Punjab Muay Thai Association (or “Punjab Muay Thai” as referenced) — appears recognised to some extent: for instance, a news report mentions that a National Muay Thai Championship was “organized by Punjab Muay Thai Federation at Wapda Sports Complex” from which the Punjab team placed third. Pakistan Observer+1
In a grants-distribution event by the Sports Board Punjab (SBP) / Punjab Government, a grant of Rs 2 lakh was given to “Punjab Muay Thai Association” among other provincial sports associations. App.com.pk
The address of the national federation (PMF) is in Lahore, Punjab: “3rd Floor, Naseeb Hospital building, Multan Rd, near Shahnoor PO, Sabzazar Housing Scheme Phase 1 & 2, Lahore, Punjab 54000, PK”.
President-DR.M NASEEB ULLAH KHAN
Secretary Genral-MIYAN REHAN HAMID
Based on the above, the Punjab Muay Thai Association likely has the following functions:
Organising provincial / national-level Muay Thai tournaments (at least acting as host or co-host) — e.g., the national championship referenced above.
Talent participation and representation — the provincial team of Punjab took part in the national event and placed third. UrduPoint+1
Affiliation and recognition — the fact that it received a grant from the sports board suggests it is a formally recognised provincial sports association.
Coordination with national federation — since PMF is the national body, the provincial association would feed into its events, governance, and athlete pipeline.
Being at the provincial level (in Punjab, the most populous province) gives potential access to a large athlete base, training infrastructure, and visibility.
The association is formally acknowledged (grant, tournament hosting) — this is a positive indicator for institutional recognition.
With the national federation seeing international success (e.g., Pakistani athlete won silver in Bangkok world Muay Thai championships) ProPakistani — the provincial component has opportunity to contribute significantly to that pipeline.
There are many things that are not (publicly) clear, which limits how complete the “all about” picture can be:
Full list of office-bearers: I could not locate a publicly available, up-to-date list of President, Secretary, Treasurer of the Punjab Muay Thai Association.
Constitution / by-laws: I couldn’t find a published constitution or governance document for the provincial association.
Full club/district-affiliation list: It’s unclear which clubs or district divisions of Punjab are affiliated under this association.
Infrastructure and training programmes: There is little data on how many training centres, coaches, referee/official programmes, club networks exist under the association in Punjab.
Annual calendar / event list: Besides the national championship references, I could not find a detailed annual schedule of provincial tournaments, grassroots competitions, youth programmes, etc.
Funding / sponsorship details: Apart from the small grant mention, there is no detailed public financial data or sponsorship info for the provincial body.
If you want to pursue more in-depth information about this association, here are useful leads:
Contact the national federation in Lahore for provincial-affiliation information: Pakistan Muay Thai Federation, Sabzazar Housing Scheme, Lahore. Zaubee
Contact the Sports Board Punjab or the Punjab government’s Sports & Youth Affairs department to ask for list of recognised provincial associations (they distributed a grant to “Punjab Muay Thai Association”). App.com.pk
Check local martial-arts / Muay Thai gyms in Lahore and other cities in Punjab—they may know which district-association is affiliated and have more grassroots links.

Strengths:
There is an officially recognised entity for junior sports in Punjab which gives younger athletes a more structured pathway.
The association is linked to the Punjab Olympic Association which adds legitimacy. punjabolympicassociation.com
Active junior tournaments in many sports (tennis, badminton, etc.) exist, indicating there is demand and functional structures. The News International+2Pakistan Observer+2
Challenges / Gaps:
Publicly available information is limited. There is not much detail about the full constitution, budget, number of affiliated clubs, or staff beyond the Secretary General.
Infrastructure & resource availability could be uneven across districts; rural and remote areas may lag behind.
Ensuring fairness (age verification, training quality), as junior events are more vulnerable to issues like “age fraud.” Indeed, the Pakistan Sports Board has recently taken steps to clamp down on age fraud in junior categories.
