The Central Asia Volleyball Association (CAVA) has relocated its Men\u2019s Nations League to Uzbekistan after some countries expressed reluctance to travel to Pakistan amid tensions between Pakistan and India, officials confirmed Thursday. The tournament was originally scheduled to take place in Islamabad from May 29 to June 4. However, following concerns raised by multiple teams, CAVA shifted the event while keeping the dates unchanged. The decision was finalised during CAVA\u2019s Annual General Meeting on April 25 in Nepal, where member nations cited the strained environment between Pakistan and India as the primary reason for their hesitation. \u201cThe tournament will be shifted to Uzbekistan, but the dates will remain the same,\u201d a CAVA official said. Ch Mohammad Yaqub, a senior official of the Pakistan Volleyball Federation, confirmed the development. \u201cYes, the change was made because countries declined to participate due to the security situation between Pakistan and India,\u201d he said. The event will now feature teams from Pakistan, Iran, Turkmenistan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and India.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
