The delegation of officials features team head Saba Shamim, coach Yousef Karami, Korean coach Seongoh Choi and female coach Najia Rasool, who are all sponsored by the PSB.

Two Pakistan Taekwondo Federation officials - President Raja Wasim Ahmad and chief executive Omar Saeed are set to sponsor their own trips to the Games, scheduled to be held from September 23 to October 8.

Pakistan has never won a taekwondo medal at the Asian Games, and at the previous edition of the continental multi-sport event in Jakarta-Palembang in 2018, the country finished with four medals, all bronzes.

Taekwondo competition at Hangzhou 2022 is due to be held at the Lin’an Gymnasium in the Lin’an District.
