Pakistan participated in the 2010 Asian Games in Guangzhou, China on 12–27 November 2010. These games provided a field hockey gold after 20 years[1] at the Asian Games, the country's eight overall, and also its first major title since winning the 1994 World Cup in Sydney, Australia. It also saw Pakistan become gold medallist in the inaugural events of cricket (women)[2] and squash team (men's).[3] Pakistan had also won the inaugural squash singles (men's) event at the 1998 Asian Games in Bangkok, Thailand.[4]
Opening Ceremony
Originally, Commonwealth Games gold medalist, Azhar Hussain, was nominated to carry the flag, but a conflict with his training schedule forced the officials to nominate the country's field hockey captain, Zeeshan Ashraf instead.[5] Pakistan's president, Asif Ali Zardari, attended the opening ceremony as a guest of the Chinese.
