Pakistan to Face New Zealand in FIH Men’s Hockey Nations Cup 2025 Final
The excitement is building as Pakistan prepares to take on New Zealand in the final of the FIH Men’s Hockey Nations Cup 2025. The championship match will take place at the National Hockey Stadium in Kuala Lumpur and is scheduled for 6:00 PM Pakistan Standard Time (PST).
This high-stakes clash not only determines the tournament champion but also offers a prized qualification spot for the FIH Pro League—one of the most competitive international hockey circuits in the world.
Pakistan secured their place in the final after a dramatic shootout victory over France, handing the European side their first defeat of the tournament. Their opponent, New Zealand, reached the final with a comeback win against South Korea, also via a penalty shootout.
The final will be a rematch of their earlier group-stage encounter, in which New Zealand edged Pakistan 4-3 in a closely contested battle. With both teams showing strong form, fans can expect an exciting and closely fought contest.
