The FIH have reacted to travel constraints imposed in Germany, Belgium and China in wake of the Covid-19 pandemic and has decided to postpone the following Pro League matches after teams who are scheduled to travel requested the same.
The matches are: Great Britain vs Germany (initially planned on 14 and 15 November 2020)
– China vs Belgium (initially planned on 23 and 24 January 2021)
The world apex body of the sport will keep a close eye on the global health situation and will announce new dates in consultation with its broadcast partners.
FIH CEO Thierry Weil said in a communiqué on the federation’s website: “While it’s always a pity to have to take such decisions, we fully understand the situation and this is the most appropriate course of action to date.
“We do hope that the global health situation will improve soon and our thoughts are with all those who are affected at the moment. We’re looking forward to enjoying international hockey matches next year again!”
The second season of the FIH Pro League, the annual global league drawing the world’s best international teams, both men and women, started in January 2020 and has been extended until May 2021 because of the pandemic.
