As previously determined by the FIH Executive Board, since the Pakistan men’s national team was not able to take part in the 2025 Asia Cup due to “force majeure”, the team recently promoted to the FIH Hockey Pro League will play a best-of-three play-off series vs the 6th-placed team of the 2025 Asia Cup, namely Bangladesh.
The three-match series will take place in Dhaka, Bangladesh, as per the following schedule:
Match 1: 13 November 2025
Match 2: 14 November 2025
Match 3: 16 November 2025
The winner of this series will qualify for the FIH Hockey Men’s World Cup Qualification Tournaments that will take place in 2026.
