Pakistan hockey team delivered a performance of pure authority and old-school swagger as they crushed Bangladesh 8-0 to march into the FIH World Cup Qualifier, sending a loud and clear message that the Green Shirts are back to playing hockey the way Pakistan is meant to play it.
In a match that felt one-sided from the opening whistle, Pakistan barely allowed Bangladesh a breath of space. The Green Shirts controlled possession, dictated the pace, and tore through the Bangladeshi defence with the kind of precision fans have long been waiting to see.
Just a day after scoring eight goals in the opening game, Pakistan’s attack looked unstoppable once more as wave after wave of green shirts poured into the circle. The goals flowed again as every forward looked to get in on the act.
Pakistan hockey team will now join Canada, Chile, United States, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Austria, England, France, Poland, Egypt, China, Japan, Malaysia, and South Korea in the FIH Hockey World Cup Qualifier. Seven teams from this competition will then earn qualification for the global hockey showcase next year.
This victory isn’t just a win — it’s a statement. Pakistan hockey has been trying to rebuild its identity, and results like these inject belief into the system. The squad looked unified, determined, and full of energy. The intensity never dropped, even with the match long secured in Pakistan’s pocket.
With the qualification spot now secured, the focus shifts to the next challenge. But for now, fans can finally breathe a sigh of relief — Pakistan’s journey toward the Hockey World Cup remains alive, and it continues with momentum on their side.
