The 1976 Quaid-e-Azam International Cup was the first edition of the Quaid-e-Azam International Cup. [1] The event was held at the Hockey Stadium in Karachi, Pakistan. [2]

Overview

Originally scheduled for 22 October, the tournament was initially designed with two groups, Group A consisting of Chinese team Guangdong, Afghanistan, and Pakistan Greens (the national A team), and Group B comprising Malaysia, Mauritius, and Pakistan Reds (the B team). [2] However, in early October, the tournament's start date was abruptly moved up to 12 October. Malaysia (originally set to arrive on the 18th) and Mauritius (on the 19th) were unable to adjust their travel plans on short notice. As a result, only Group A matches were played in the initial days of the tournament. [2]

By 16 October, the Pakistan Football Federation declared that the tournament would only include Group A, citing Malaysia's withdrawal. Additionally, Mauritius was slated to participate in exhibition matches against Pakistan and China. Subsequently, on 20 October, it was announced that Mauritius had decided to cancel its visit altogether. The Chinese team departed on 21 October. [2]
