The Aichi-Nagoya Games organizers have apologized for a transportation mix-up that sent Pakistan's volleyball team to the incorrect venue before its match against Uzbekistan. The delay forced the game to start later than planned. Pakistan captain Murad Jehan expressed frustration over the incident, calling it "another mismanagement" after he shared a video on Instagram.
The Games spokesperson confirmed that the South Korean men's team also faced the same issue, missing its practice session due to being taken to the wrong location. Both teams had been mistakenly directed to buses heading to different destinations. The spokesperson offered a sincere apology to both teams for the inconvenience caused.
It was initially planned for Pakistan to travel to Okazaki for the match, but the bus mistakenly headed toward Inuyama, the location of the practice venue. Corrections were made, and the match proceeded after a delay in the start time. Despite the setback, Pakistan secured a convincing 3-0 win over Uzbekistan. The organizers had previously acknowledged transportation and logistical problems affecting the Asian Games.
