“FIH Hockey Five World Cup, a game changer event”

International Hockey Federation strives to promote field hockey worldwide, has nominated Oman to host FIH Hockey Five World Cup. The decision was made by the International Hockey Federation on the recommendation of the Task Force Event Bidding Committee, which is made up of members of the executive boards of the five continental federations, and the executive board of the International Hockey Federation. The first edition of FIH Hockey Five World Cup hosted by Oman will be played in January 2024 in Muscat, the capital of Oman. FIH’s handing over of hosting the first edition of the magnificent and mega event like Hockey Five World Cup to an Asian country has created a wave of happiness among hockey fans across the Asian continent. Congratulatory messages were sent by Asian hockey federation , National Hockey Associations of continent & Abroad to His Majesty Sultan Haitham bin Tariq the Sultan of Oman and His Highness Sayyid Theyazin bin Haitham al Said, the Minister of Culture, Sports and Youth on this wonderful and a very special opportunity.
The FIH’s decision to allot the mega event to an Asian country was warmly welcomed across Asia. Sports organizations and sports federations, including Asian hockey fans, have described the FIH’s holding of this mega event on the continent as a never-ending series of best results. According to sports experts, especially hockey experts, this wonderful hockey event in the region will be a great help in organizing game development and gaining public attention. There are five continental units operating in the FIH structure, which is the backbone of the structure. The 138 member associations are part of these five continental hockey federations and The affiliated hockey federations include the African Hockey Federation (AFHF), the Asian Hockey Federation (AHF), the European Hockey Federation (EHF), and the Oceania Hockey Federation (OHF) and the Pan American Hockey Federation (PAHF).
While the first edition of the Hockey Five World Cup is being celebrated in Asia, on the other hand, some sports federations affiliated to the European Hockey Federation have reservations over the decision. And by raising these concerns from sports and linking them to other irrelevant issues, it is also being demanded that this decision be reconsidered through a futile argument. FIH, a pioneer in promoting sports equality and sportsmanship The National Hockey Sports Association of Canada, Field Hockey Canada, said in a statement That They Have concerns with the decision. Because the transgender, feminist, and other unnatural pragmatic community in Oman does not enjoy freedom and has been under constant exploitation since 1945, holding a mega event in such a place violates the spirit of sports and equality.
As a sports management analyst, I do believe that the one or two sports federations affiliated to the European Hockey Federation have resorted to baseless arguments for objections and reservations. FIH, which has been working tirelessly for the development and promotion of the game in the world of hockey. And equality in sports, sportsmanship, the best reflection of culture through sports and the preservation of great traditions. Through sports, FIH is doing its best to help every country, region and continent project its soft image around the world. At the same time, the Chief Executive and General Secretary of the Asian Hockey Federation Tayyab Ikram Chaudhry and his entire team deserve special congratulations. Who succeeded in popularizing the game of field hockey by introducing hockey development program in the region. As a sports management analyst, I understand that Hosted by the Sultanate of Oman, where this grand tournament will be held in a grand manner, the existing game development programs in the region will also be strengthened. Continent Asia, which has a glorious past in field hockey, will also be able to reap the multifaceted benefits of hosting a spectacular event through the Asian Hockey Federation. This will make the popularity of the sport in the region, the public interest as well as the best interpreter of culture possible.
