ISLAMABAD: The Pakistan Cycling Federation (PCF) proudly announces a groundbreaking achievement for the nation’s cycling community Muhammad Haroon General, a UCI-certified Road Elite National Commissaire has been officially selected by the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) to serve as a Commissaire at the Tour de l’Avenir, one of Europe’s most prestigious international cycling races to be held in France from August 23–29, 2025.
This landmark selection makes General the first-ever Pakistani commissaire to officiate at a UCI-sanctioned race in Europe, a significant step forward in Pakistan’s participation in international cycling governance. His selection follows a highly competitive process in which only six commissaires—three male and three female—were chosen from across Asia, Africa, South, and Central America.
General expressed heartfelt gratitude to Dubai Islamic Bank for their generous support in making his participation possible, and acknowledged the Syed Azhar Ali Shah President Pakistan Cycling Federation for their trust and consistent encouragement. “The unwavering support from PCF and the sponsorship from Dubai Islamic Bank laid the foundation for this milestone,” he said.muhammad haroon general
