Nagoya organisers regret Pakistan and South Korea travel mix-ups

Organisers of the Aichi-Nagoya Games have expressed regret over travel mix-ups that occurred during the event. Pakistan's volleyball team arrived at the wrong venue for their match against Uzbekistan, causing a delay. Their captain, Murad Jehan, shared the incident on Instagram, stating it was due to "another mismanagement." South Korea's men's team also missed their practice session as they too reached a wrong destination.

Both teams had been transported to the incorrect locations in buses. The Games spokesperson apologized for the inconvenience, explaining that the Pakistan team's bus was meant for Inuyama, the practice venue, but ended up at Okazaki, the match location. They later corrected the route, delaying the match start to ensure its proper conduct. Despite the delay, Pakistan won the match 3-0.
