FIH Groups Pakistan With India For Junior World Cup Despite Doubts Over Their Participation (Ld)
Junior World Cup Tamil Nadu: Their participation in the event in India is still in doubt due to the groundswell of demand for excluding them in the wake of the Pahalgam attack and Operation Sindoor, Pakistan were on Saturday grouped with archrivals India in the expanded 24-team FIH Hockey Men’s Junior World Cup 2025 to be played in Tamil Nadu in November-December this year.
FIH President Tayyab Ikram, who incidentally is of Pakistani origin but represents Macau in the organisation, pulled out the ball containing Pakistan's name on the penultimate turn from the first bowl, putting the winner of the inaugural edition in 1979 into Group B along with India, Chile, and Switzerland.
The FIH Hockey Men’s Junior World Cup Tamil Nadu 2025 will be played in Chennai and Madurai from November 28 to December 10. India are two-time winners of the prestigious event, bagging the titles in 2001 and 2016 in Lucknow. They had finished runner-up in 1997 and fourth on three occasions (2005, 2021 and 2023).
