Pakistan heads into the 2026 Asian Games in Japan with modest expectations but a genuine chance to spring a surprise, as a small group of athletes carry the weight of the country’s medal hopes into what’s shaping up to be one of its toughest continental campaigns in years. A Tournament With Higher Stakes Than Usual The Asian Games run from September 19 to October 4 in Aichi-Nagoya, Japan, marking Pakistan’s 90th appearance at the event. But the buildup has been far from ideal — years of underinvestment, late preparation, and the absence of a sustained athlete development programme have left…
