FIH, HI to meet on November 12

With time running out for India to save the hosting rights of next year’s Olympic qualifiers, the International Hockey Federation (FIH) has summoned Hockey India to present its case before the world body’s executive council on November 12.

The FIH has asked HI to appear before its executive board to discuss issues related to the game’s governance in the country.

India had already paid the price for the long-standing power tussle between HI and Indian Hockey Federation over the governance of the game, with the FIH snatching away the hosting rights of this year’s Champions Trophy.
