Pakistan, last year라이브 바카라 runners-up at the Azlan Shah Cup hockey tournament, have not been invited for the 2025 edition in November. Reason: "outstanding debt". (More Hockey News)
The Malaysian Hockey Federation (MHF) has not extended an invite as it is reportedly unhappy with its Pakistani counterpart (PHF). "A former official of the PHF made some bad decisions during the last Azlan Shah Cup which left the PHF in debt to the MHF,” a PTI report quoted a PHF source as saying.
The source added in the report that PHF officials were trying to sort out the matter with the MHF and hopefully the invite will come eventually.
“Pakistan and Malaysia have very strong hockey ties built over the years and this issue should be sorted out,” the report further quoted the source as saying.
A report in Pakistani news outlet Dawn has since quoted former Olympians Manzoor-ul-Hasan Senior and Tauqir Dar as appealing to the PHF to take immediate steps to secure the team라이브 바카라 participation in the prestigious tournament.
“Pakistan has traditionally been a regular participant in the Azlan Shah Cup, finishing as runners-up last year after a final loss to Japan. With India participating, the Pakistan-India match would attract immense global interest. It could significantly benefit the sport,” Tauqir was quoted as saying in the report.
Meanwhile, defending champions Japan will miss out because of prior commitments.
