ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tent Pegging team continued their domination in the recently-concluded Tent Pegging World Cup qualifiers and booked their spot in the mega event, scheduled later this year.
Pakistan, who dominated the opening two days of the qualifiers, dominated the final day of the event as well as the national side claimed the first position and also booked their spot in the second mega event of the sport.
Meanwhile, besides Pakistan, Jordan also qualified for the Tent Pegging World Cup after finishing second in the six-team tournament.
According to the details, Jordan finished first in single players, while Pakistan claimed second and third spots.
The host nation, however, won the qualifiers with an overall 527 points in the three-day-long competition.
Following Pakistan’s world cup qualification, the President Equestrian Federation of Pakistan (ECP) Sultan Mohammad Ali congratulated the national contingent.
“The Pakistani players performed brilliantly throughout the event,” said President EFP Sultan Mohammad Ali.
“God willing, this time the World Cup will also be ours,” he added.
It is pertinent to mention here that Pakistan was given the opportunity to host the Tent Pegging World Cup Qualifiers after India lost the hosting rights of the event last year for letting Indian players play for Nepal’s team illegally.
Six teams participated in the event which includes hosts Pakistan, Egypt, Libya, Belarus, Iran and Syria.
