FIH President Tayyab Ikram, reflecting on the FIH EB meeting held in Évian-les-Bains, France, on 2-3 November, said: “As we have concluded our final FIH Executive Board meeting of the year, I would like to thank all my colleagues on the FIH EB for their remarkable dedication over the past few days.

Thanks to everyone’s contributions, we now have a clear strategic roadmap ahead of us. And with enhanced dedicated content on our website and our brand-new app, FIH Connect, communication with our National Associations and athletes will be significantly strengthened and improved.

I was also pleased to update the Executive Board on my various engagements, on behalf of FIH, with the Olympic movement, including the IOC and its President, Kirsty Coventry, and Director General, Christophe De Kepper, ASOIF, SportAccord, OCA, and the Continental Games Coordination Commissions.

I would like to express my appreciation as well to the FIH Team for their support and hard work.

Together, we are sparing no effort to elevate our sport to the next level, expand hockey worldwide, and enhance its promotion.

I look forward to our upcoming events, including the FIH Hockey Women’s and Men’s Junior World Cups, as well as the new FIH Hockey Pro League season.”
