"VAN" (Sports Desk) :: The Facilities and Quality Programme Manager at the International Hockey Federation (FIH) Alastair Cox conducted a very productive Facilities workshop for Hockey India State Member Units through Microsoft Teams on Thursday, 09 July 2020. One representative from each of the Hockey India 31 State Member Units got an opportunity to understand the basics of developing a facilities strategy, understand the different field and surfacing options and identify additional features to consider when planning a new hockey facility during the course of the three-hour workshop.

The Facilities and Quality Programme Manager stressed on the topics relevant to India including academy venues during the workshop. Hockey India extended this opportunity to its registered 31 State Member Units with one representative allowed from each of the State Member Units to attend the workshop.

"It was really interesting to host a facilities workshop for each of the Hockey India 31 State Member Units. While the venues used in India for FIH events were always world-class, I am sure that Hockey India will improve the facilities at their venues even more after today's workshop. We look forward to collaborating on more workshops for the growth of hockey in the future," said International Hockey Federation CEO Thierry Weil.

Speaking on the participation of the Facilities workshop, Mohd. Mushtaque Ahmad, President, Hockey India said, "We can stage the best of matches only if the facilities are top class at our venues and Hockey India has always strived to arrange the best facilities for the players, support staff and the fans. Therefore, it was very important for our State Member Units to attain more knowledge about facilities management and maintenance so that we can improve our current stadiums and take our standards to the next level in the upcoming years."
