Pakistan not invited for Sultan Azlan Shah hockey cup by Malaysia due to...
Malaysian Hockey Federation has not extended invitation to Pakistan for Azlan Shah Cup. New Delhi: Due to outstanding payments of $10,349 owed by the Pakistan Hockey Federation (PHF) to the Johar Hockey Association, Malaysia has not invited Pakistan to participate in this year's Azlan Shah Cup. The Johar Association has formally notified the PHF of this debt, which covers expenses incurred during a team visit to Malaysia in October 2023. The Pakistan hockey team, accompanied by PHF officials and their families, traveled to Malaysia to participate in the Johar Hockey Cup. 'While the team's stay and expenses were to be borne by the organisers, the PHF officials which included the former President were told clearly they would have to clear all expenses themselves. These officials also stayed at the same luxury hotel where the teams were staying,' said the source. The Johar association has raised concerns with the Malaysian federation regarding outstanding dues, and has warned of further action with the FIH if the payments remain unsettled. 'The current PHF President and his team are in a fix because the federation is already cash strapped and they were not aware of these expenses by former PHF officials,' the source said. The Sultan Azlan Shah Cup hockey tournament will take place in Ipoh from November 22nd to 29th.

Pakistan snubbed from 2025 Sultan Azlan Shah cup despite runner-up finish
Pakistan has been excluded from the 2025 Sultan Azlan Shah Hockey Cup, despite finishing as runners-up in the previous edition. The tournament, set to begin on November 22 in Ipoh, Malaysia, will feature Belgium, Canada, Germany, India, Ireland, and hosts Malaysia. The exclusion was confirmed on the official website for the tournament which did not include Pakistan among the participating teams. Interestingly, Japan has also been left out of the 2025 tournament, despite winning the previous edition. The reasons behind the exclusion of both teams remain unclear. Sources within the Pakistan Hockey Federation (PHF) have stated that the tournament organisers did not extend an invitation, raising concerns over the selection process. Pakistan delivered a strong performance in the 2024 edition, remaining unbeaten in the group stage with three wins and two draws. They reached the final but lost 4-1 in a penalty shootout to Japan, who secured their first Sultan Azlan Shah Cup title. Pakistan's omission comes after securing a bronze medal in the 2023 edition, further solidifying their presence in the competition. With questions surrounding the selection criteria, the decision has sparked debate over the future direction of the historic tournament.
