Next year’s hockey World Cup will definitely be held in India.
International Hockey Federation (FIH) president Leandro Negre confirmed this after meeting the Asian Hockey Federation (AHF) executive council here yesterday.
Negre had spent three days in New Delhi earlier this week touring the World Cup facilities and meeting with Indian officials.
He said FIH were not looking at relocating the World Cup to another country.
“I have to say that I am satisfied with the preparations in India and I can say with certainty that New Delhi will host the tournament next year,” he said.
“Of course security is a concern for us but that is not the only aspect that we look into.”
The media had reported last month that Malaysia might be asked to replace India as host for the World Cup.
