The Punjab government has launched registration for the Punjab Rising Stars Portal, an online platform aimed at helping young athletes create digital profiles and showcase their sporting talent and achievements.
Developed by the Punjab Information Technology Board (PITB) in collaboration with the Sports Board Punjab, the platform is intended to help authorities identify promising athletes from across the province and connect them with sports development opportunities.
Through the Punjab Rising Stars Portal, athletes can provide information about their skills, experience and achievements. Sports authorities can use these profiles to identify potential candidates for trials, coaching, training and other development initiatives.
The platform covers a range of sports, including cricket, hockey, football, badminton and karate, along with other sporting disciplines. The initiative also highlights opportunities related to sports facilities, professional coaching, talent trials and e-sports.
Who can register?
The portal is primarily aimed at young athletes from across Punjab who want to showcase their abilities and explore opportunities to develop their sporting careers.
Students, beginners, club-level players and athletes with previous competition experience can create profiles on the platform. However, registration does not guarantee selection for a trial, coaching programme or sports facility, as selection will depend on the criteria established by the relevant authorities.
What opportunities could be available?
The Punjab Rising Stars initiative is designed to help talented athletes access opportunities such as:
- Sports trials
- Professional coaching
- Talent identification
- Training and skill development
- Access to sports facilities
- Mentorship
- E-sports programmes
- Recognition of sporting talent
According to PITB, the platform aims to make the process of identifying sports talent more transparent while connecting athletes with opportunities for training, development and recognition.
Does registration guarantee selection?
No. Registering on the Punjab Rising Stars Portal does not automatically guarantee selection for a trial, training camp, coaching programme or any other opportunity.
Registration allows athletes to create a digital profile that may be considered for relevant opportunities announced under the initiative.
Applicants are advised to provide accurate information and avoid making false or unverifiable claims about their sporting achievements.
Is there a registration deadline?
