Pakistan Champions advanced to the World Championship of Legends (WCL) 2025 final after India Champions pulled out of the semi-final against the archrivals on Wednesday.
The development was confirmed by the official Facebook account of the WCL, which said that the match has been called off due to the India Champions’ refusal to play the semi-final.
“At WCL, we have always believed in the power of sport to inspire and bring about positive change in the world,” the league said in a statement.
It continued, “However, public sentiment must always be respected -after all, everything we do is for our audience.”
The organisers lauded the Pakistan Champions for their readiness to compete in the WCL 2025 finals.
“Taking all factors into consideration, the match between the India Champions and the Pakistan Champions has been called off. As a result, Pakistan Champions will advance to the final,” the statement read.
