Hero Honda FIH World Cup 2010 will start one week earlier

The International Hockey Federation (FIH) decided to start the Hero Honda FIH World Cup 2010 in New Delhi, India one week earlier as originally scheduled. The new dates of the world’s most important men’s hockey event will be Sunday 28 February-Saturday 13 March 2010.

The reason the FIH moved the Hero Honda FIH World Cup 2010 one week is to get an even better worldwide promotion of FIH’s showcase event.

The Hero Honda FIH World Cup 2010 will see the best 12 men’s hockey teams of the world in action in the National Stadium in New Delhi, India. Canada, Korea, South Africa and host India are already qualified for the Hero Honda FIH World Cup. The qualifying process is still ongoing and will come to a conclusion in November 2009.
