England's men's hockey team secured their place in the World Cup finals with a dominant 4-1 victory over Pakistan in the tournament final held in Egypt. The win not only clinched the qualification event but also built momentum ahead of the August championships in Belgium and the Netherlands.

Harry Croft opened the scoring in the 18th minute when his shot deflected past the Pakistan goalkeeper. Sam Hooper then doubled England's lead with two second-half goals, while Pakistan's Waleed Rana briefly narrowed the gap. Ben Fox sealed the victory with a 52nd-minute goal, ensuring England's perfect run through the tournament.

England had already secured their World Cup berth by reaching the final, but they finished the qualification event with five consecutive wins, including victories over Malaysia, the United States, Egypt, and Japan. Pakistan, Japan, and Malaysia also qualified for the World Cup from this event, with Japan and Malaysia contesting the bronze medal match.
