I am sure Punjab still has hockey fans as majority of players come from that state. It's shameful for Punjab not to have international standard infrastructure for Hockey WC matches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know much about it but cricket and football matches are hosted in different cities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gollum Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 No big tournament will come to India next 15-20 years, so needn't worry about this for now. CT discontinued WC no way, already enough voices about it Olympics hosting beyond our aukaat Asian Games, CWG doubtful.....govt showing no interest in hosting these FIH Pro League will be hosted across the globe.

No one takes Hockey seriously in India unlike Cricket and Football. Only the state of Odisha has nurtured Indian hockey almost single handedly by building world class hockey stadiums and even sponsoring the national team. Otherwise we wouldn't even be able to host this WC. Frustrated 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now wonder they are able to consistently perform in touraments. Indian players get the bare minimum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
