World Championship of Legends: India-Pakistan clash called off amid players, sponsor boycott
The Statesman Siliguri
|July 21, 2025
The much-anticipated India vs Pakistan clash at the ongoing World Championship of Legends (WCL) has officially been called off, following strong objections from Indian players and a principal tournament sponsor.
The decision was announced by the tournament organisers, who issued a formal apology for "hurting sentiments" and "causing discomfort" to the Indian legends.
In a statement, WCL organisers said the India-Pakistan fixture was scheduled in the spirit of fostering goodwill, taking inspiration from a recent friendly volleyball match between the two nations. However, they acknowledged that the move backfired, creating discomfort among Indian players and sparking widespread backlash.
"The fixture was planned to create happy memories for fans," the statement read. "But we understand that it may have caused unease to the Indian legends and fans. We sincerely apologise for hurting sentiments and have decided to cancel the match."
