The Pakistan Hockey Federation has informed FIH and AHF that sending its team to India for next month’s Asia Cup may not be possible due to security concerns.

Pakistan hockey body tells FIH it is not willing to send team to India for Asia Cup

The Pakistan Hockey Federation has informed FIH and AHF that sending its team to India for next month&rsquo;s Asia Cup may not be possible due to security concerns.

The Pakistan Hockey Federation (PHF) has informed the sport's global governing body FIH that it will be "difficult" for them to send a team to India for the Asia Cup next month because of "security concerns".
Tariq Bugti, who heads the PHF, said they had written to the FIH and Asian Hockey Federation (AHF), expressing their reservations over sending the team to India.
"We have informed them that in the existing scenario, our team will face security risks playing in India," he said.
"We have informed them our players are also not keen to travel to India for the Asia Cup which is also a direct qualifying tournament," he added.
The PHF chief said the ball is now in the court of the FIH and AHF to decide about the event and Pakistan's matches.
"We have asked them to let us know what guarantee is there that our players will be safe in India and will be able to focus on the tournament," he said.
The Pakistan government is yet to come out with an official statement on the issue but recently a senior government official said the team would not travel to India.

The Indian players didn't show any intent to win 50-50 balls. They also seemed to have run out of ideas, and mostly tried to hit the ball from the 30 yard circle instead of opting for crisp, short passes, which is their strength.

Paris 2024 dream shattered as India women hockey team loses to Japan in FIH Olympic qualifier

The Indian players didn't show any intent to win 50-50 balls. They also seemed to have run out of ideas, and mostly tried to hit the ball from the 30 yard circle instead of opting for crisp, short passes, which is their strength.

Paris will remain out of bounds for Indian women's hockey team that eschewed its crisp, short-passing game to bow of 2024 Olympic qualification race with a 0-1 loss to Japan in the third-place match of FIH Qualifiers here on Friday.
Kana Urata's sixth minute strike from the penalty corner turned out to be the winner for Japan as the wheels that were set in motion for the Indian women's team, following a momentous fourth-place finish at the Tokyo Olympics in 2021, seemed to have come off after the utterly disappointing show in one of its hubs in recent years.
The top three sides from this tournament qualified for the Paris Olympics. By finishing third, Japan, booked their berth.
Germany and USA, who will play in the final later in the evening, are the other two sides to have sealed their places.
Japan were the early aggressor as they exerted pressure on the Indian defence and, in the process, had the first scoring chance, but an alert Indian skipper Savita in front of the goal came out rushing to kick away the loose ball in the second minute.
The Indians played catch-up as they failed to threaten the Japanese goal despite making some fine circle penetrations.
Japan kept up the pressure and secured their first penalty corner minutes later but the Indians defended well.
Two minutes later, India conceded another soft penalty corner and this time Urata found the back of the net through the legs of Savita with a grounded flick.
The Indian backline was put under tremendous pressure by the Japanese with some defence-splitting dangerous crosses but the hosts somehow managed to hold on.
In the 12th minute, India had their first real chance. Monika created the opportunity with a fine cross from the right flank but Lalremsiami's deflection went over the bar.
As has been the case in this tournament, the Indians were guilty of not using both the flanks. It was predictable hockey from the Savita-led side as they tried to build most of their attacks from the right flank.
The Indians allowed Japan to control the proceedings as they strayed away from their strength, that is playing attacking hockey.
Japan continued from where they left in the first quarter and secured their third set piece just after the restart.
The Indians, however, got some momentum in the second quarter, securing two penalty corners in quick succession.
First, Lalremsiami created the opportunity with a fine 3D skills, but Deepika's effort was saved by Japan goalkeeper Eika Nakamura.
Seconds later, India earned another set piece but once again Deepika failed to breach the Japanese defence.
The Indian players didn't show any intent to win 50-50 balls. They also seemed to have run out of ideas, and mostly tried to hit the ball from the 30 yard circle instead of opting for crisp, short passes, which is their strength.
Trailing 0-1, the Indians came out attacking after the change of ends and made a few good moves, but goals eluded them.
Six minute into the third quarter, India secured another penalty corner but Deepika failed to get past Nakamura in front of Japan goal.
Minutes later, Japan managed to get a set piece but the Indians defended well to stay in the hunt.
Chances came thick and fast for India in the form of penalty corners as they secured back-to-back set pieces in the 43rd minute but Udita Duhan failed to break the Japanese defence with her slap shot.
Japan were put under tremendous pressure by the Indians in the third quarter with repeated forays. The home team's tactics worked as it secured another penalty corner seconds from the final break, but once again, the lack of execution did them in.
It was complete domination from the Indians after the change of ends but that did not translate into goals.
India earned as many as nine penalty corners in the entire 60 minutes but their perennial problem of conversion continued.
In the last 11 minutes of the game, India secured three penalty corners but Deepika and Udita's poor record continued.
A minute and a half from the final hooter, an unmarked Salima Tete got the best chance for India to equalise but, with only the goalkeeper to beat, she shot wide.

The International Hockey Federation made the decision due to the ongoing tussle between the Pakistan Hockey Federation and the state-owned Pakistan Sports Board.

In a significant blow for Pakistan hockey, the world body (FIH) has taken away the hosting rights of the Olympic Qualifying tournament from the country because of infighting between the national federation and the nation's Sports Board.
The Olympic Qualification tournament is scheduled to be held in January next year.
The International Hockey Federation's decision came as a result of the ongoing tussle between the Pakistan Hockey Federation (PHF) and the state-owned Pakistan Sports Board (PSB).
"The FIH while taking away our hosting rights made it clear it was convinced that the sports board and government were not willing to cooperate with the PHF in the successful hosting of the event," a PHF source said.
The FIH's decision came as a big jolt to Pakistan hockey which had the rights to host an international event after over a decade.
The PHF had already announced that the Olympic Qualifier would be held in Lahore in January.
But recent attempts by the PSB to interfere in PHF affairs in a bid to plant its own people in the federation have led to chaos.
Several Olympians encouraged by the government's ministry of inter-provincial coordination and PSB have been trying to stage a coup in the PHF and get a vote of no confidence passed against the sitting president, Brigadier (retd) Khalid Sajjad Khokar and Secretary Haider Hussain.
The Olympians include Asif Bajwa, Shahbaz Ahmed and Rana Mujahid, who served as secretaries in recent times, two of them under Khokar.&nbsp;
