Summary Pakistan and India will meet twice in London this month as Pakistan battles to avoid Pro League relegation.

LAHORE (Web Desk) - The national hockey teams of Pakistan and India are set to face each other twice in London later this month as part of the FIH Pro League schedule.

According to details, ticket sales are underway for the matches scheduled on June 23 and June 26 between the traditional rivals.

Pakistan’s training camp is currently in progress in Lahore ahead of the European leg of the competition. The national squad is scheduled to depart for Belgium on June 9.

Pakistan will face Belgium on June 13 and Spain on June 14 before taking on Belgium again on June 19 and Spain on June 20. The latter two fixtures were originally scheduled for June 16 and 17.

After completing its matches in Belgium, the team will travel to London on June 21 for the final round of league fixtures.

Pakistan will take on India on June 23, followed by a match against England on June 24. The Green Shirts will again face India on June 26 before concluding their campaign against England on June 27.

Pakistan has endured a difficult Pro League campaign so far, losing all eight matches played and remaining at the bottom of the standings without a point.

Retaining its place in the Pro League remains the team's biggest challenge, as the lowest-ranked side among the nine participating teams is relegated at the end of the season.
