Hockey News: FIH rejects idea of having Ind-Pak Olympic hockey qualifier in Europe

The International Hockey Federation has cleared the air over India-Pakistan face off in the Olympic qualifying tournament for a berth at the 2020 Tokyo Games. (FIH) has made it clear that there are no plans to conduct the Olympic qualifying matches between India and Pakistan in Europe if the arch-rivals draw each other in the battle for a 2020 Tokyo Games berth. A Pakistan Hockey Federation (PHF) official last week claimed that the FIH was mulling the idea of conducting the potential Olympic qualifying clashes between India and Pakistan in Europe due to recent political tensions between the two nations.
