After being led by just two presidents over the past 46 years, the Pakistan Olympic Association (POA) has elected Arif Saeed as its new president for the 2025-2029 term.

Arif's unopposed election follows the resignation of Lt. General (retd) Arif Hasan in January 2024 due to health reasons. Hasan had served as president from March 2004 to December 2024, succeeding the late Wajid Ali Shah, who led the POA from March 1978 to March 2004, becoming the longest-serving sports official in Pakistan.
