Nagoya organisers regret Pakistan and S Korea travel mix-ups
NAGOYA: Organisers of the Aichi-Nagoya Games apologised for a travel mix-up on Monday, which saw Pakistan reaching a wrong venue ahead of their volleyball match against Uzbekistan, which eventually had to be delayed to salvage the situation.
The Aichi-Nagoya Games organisers have expressed regret over travel mix-ups that led Pakistan and South Korea's teams to reach the wrong venues ahead of their matches. The incident resulted in delays and inconvenience for both teams.
Pakistan's team mistakenly arrived at Inuyama, the location of a practice venue, instead of Okazaki, where their Pool A volleyball match against Uzbekistan was scheduled. They were forced to delay the match to salvage the situation. Pakistan captain Murad Jehan shared his frustration on Instagram, calling it another instance of mismanagement.
Similarly, South Korea's men's team also missed their practice session due to reaching a wrong venue. Both teams inadvertently boarded buses leading to the wrong destinations. Organisers apologised for the inconvenience caused, offering sincere apologies to both teams.
The Pakistan team, however, managed to overcome the disruption and won their match 3-0 against Uzbekistan. Organisers had previously apologised for the transportation and logistical issues plaguing the Games.
