Doha, Qatar: Defending champions Qatar were defeated by Pakistan in straight sets in the semi-final of the 2025 AVC Men’s Volleyball Nations Cup at Isa Bin Rashid Hall in Manama, Bahrain, yesterday.
Despite entering the match as favourites following convincing wins over Australia and Vietnam earlier in the tournament – which carries world ranking points – top seeds Qatar failed to sustain their momentum.
The Camilo Soto-coached side, ranked 23rd globally, dropped the first two sets by identical scores of 22-25, before succumbing 21-25 in the third as Pakistan exacted revenge for their previous loss to Qatar in the final of the tournament formerly known as the AVC Challenge Cup.
Qatar’s Youssef Oughlaf and Wadidi Raimi maintained strong performances, contributing 14 and 11 points respectively.
Pakistan’s Usman Faryad Ali led all scorers with 18 points, while Murad Jehan added 16 and Murad Khan chipped in with seven crucial points.
