This past Sunday, the Pakistan Hockey Team faced a setback when they lost the 3rd place match in the FIH Olympic qualifier to New Zealand with a score of 3-2.
The defeat was a blow to Pakistan’s aspirations of qualifying for the Paris Olympics in 2024. Unfortunately, this loss marked the conclusion of their journey to secure a spot in the prestigious event.
On the flip side, New Zealand celebrated a victory that not only secured their triumph in the match but also earned them qualification for the Paris Olympics. This achievement puts New Zealand in the company of Great Britain and Germany as the teams heading to the 2024 Olympics.
The disappointment for Pakistan is evident as they now have to watch from the sidelines, missing out on the opportunity to participate in the highly anticipated Olympic event scheduled for 2024. It’s a tough outcome for the team, but they’ll likely regroup and look ahead to future opportunities on the international hockey stage.
