Here’s the verified situation: according to multiple Indian outlet reports, Pakistan’s hockey federation has formally informed the FIH and Asian Hockey Federation (AHF) that it is unable to send its senior team to the upcoming Men’s Hockey Asia Cup in India, citing security concerns and players’ reluctance to travel (Bhaskar English).
Officials from the Pakistan Sports Board (PSB) have also confirmed that government clearance is still pending, with no final decision yet made. The matter remains under consideration by ministries of interior, foreign affairs, and sports (India Today).
Former hockey great Akhtar Rasool—now advising the AHF—has even suggested relocating Pakistan’s matches to a neutral venue if India cannot guarantee visas and player safety (Dawn).
Importantly, no official public statement has yet come directly from the Pakistani government confirming or denying the team’s withdrawal. Reports also mention that India’s Sports Ministry has stated that Pakistan would not be barred—in principle—from participating under the Olympic Charter, which prohibits host nations from politicizing multi-nation sport events (India Today).
✅ Summary Table
Issue | حالة |
---|---|
PHF decision | Informed FIH/AHF they will likely not participate due to security risks |
Government approval | Still pending; final decision is in flux across ministries |
Neutral venue request | Suggested by former PHF president to ensure player safety |
Indian position | States it won’t block participation in multinational events |
Final outcome | Not yet formally confirmed by Pakistan; situation evolving |
Unless new developments emerge—especially from official Pakistani sources—the reports stem primarily from Indian media and PHF communications. At present, a final decision appears pending, with the window still open for either participation (if visas and security assurances are granted) or withdrawal.
