India has denied visas to Pakistan’s hockey team for the upcoming Men’s Asia Cup 2025, set to take place in Rajgir, India. This tournament is crucial for qualifying teams for the 2026 FIH Men’s Hockey World Cup. The Asian Hockey Federation has yet to comment on the issue, leaving Pakistan’s participation uncertain. Pakistan, a dominant force in Asian hockey with three Asia Cup victories, was set to compete in the event for the 12th time. Fans were eagerly anticipating high-quality matches, but the visa dispute has raised concerns over fair competition.
