Netherlands junior hockey team likely to visit Pakistan in 2020

Author: Staff Report

Netherlands junior hockey team is expected to visit Pakistan next year to play a series of matches against the national junior side. “We are in touch with Netherlands and hopefully a series will likely be finalised for next year to be played in Pakistan,” President Pakistan Hockey Federation (PHF), Brig (r) Khalid Sajjad Khokhar was quoted as saying on Tuesday. To a question, he said that Netherlands had a busy schedule in January, and therefore, the series would be planned accordingly. “The PHF is also in talks with Germany and Malaysia for their teams’ tour of Pakistan, but so far nothing is finalised as we are still in the process of confirming things,” he said. The hockey federation’s newfound focus on the junior game owes to the fact that Pakistan would be featuring in Junior Asia Cup 2020 and Junior Hockey World Cup 2021. The national championship would also be held in Lahore from November 28 to December 8.
