NBP has now emerged as the leading institution for promotion of sports in the country. It serves social aspect of the community by contributing good, healthy environment, providing sports facilities, conducting sports events and patronizing talented sportsmen. A Committee of the Board for Sports and Culture was constituted to ensure that the desired results are achieved.
Sports has found due place in our record which dates back to 1954 when NBP cricket team was formed locally, By the year 1966, Bank had established teams of Cricket, Hockey, Football and other sports were also getting patronage.
For the management of NBP sports activities, a Sports Department has been set-up in 1974 that became precedence for other financial institutions, thus setting up the tempo for a big Sport upsurge in the country. These measures not only helped to raise the general standard of various games in Pakistan but also diverted the attention of our youth to take part in healthy and something more creative activities.
