Neeraj Chopra, Arshad Nadeem To Face Off In Silesia Diamond League In Poland

Neeraj Chopra and Arshad Nadeem are all set to face off for the first time since their duel at the Paris Olympics 2024 at the Diamond League in Silesia, Poland on August 16, the organisers confirmed on Saturday, July 12.

"Neeraj Chopra will face Arshad Nadeem. The Indian-Pakistani battle awaiting the Polish fans will be the first opportunity for revenge after the Paris Olympics," the organisers said while announcing the participants of the prestigious DL event.
