ISLAMABAD: The Pakistan Hockey Federation (PHF) has invited South Korea to tour Pakistan for a proposed four-match Test series, officials said.
PHF President Muhammad Uddin Wani said during an appearance on a local sports program that discussions are still in the early stages.
He expressed hope that the series could be held in Pakistan in the last week of July, depending on final agreements between both sides.
Wani said consultations are ongoing regarding venues, adding that matches could either be played in a single city or hosted across multiple cities.
He said the series, if finalized, would mark an important step toward reviving international hockey in Pakistan and help strengthen the country’s presence in global hockey.
Pakistan is ranked 12th in the world, while South Korea holds the 20th position. Officials noted that South Korea has not qualified for the upcoming Hockey World Cup scheduled to be held in Belgium and the Netherlands.
The proposed series is expected to serve as preparation for Pakistan ahead of major international competitions later this year.
