Nor have we qualified for any mega event like the Olympics or the World Cup. If the situation remains like this, I don’t think we will be able to qualify for the next Olympics or the World Cup. Such a pathetic performance from a country which has three and four gold medals at Olympics and World Cup respectively is unacceptable. The importance of the FIH Pro League is that the champions in 2023/24 and 2024/2025 will earn direct qualification in the World Cup. The only chance for qualification for the Olympics is if Pakistan win the Asian Games and Asia Cup for the World Cup.
