KUALA LUMPUR: The International Hockey Federation (FIH) have decided to discard the “own goal” rule.
The own goal rule was made mandatory last year and was implemented in a host of international tournaments. But following recommendations from their rules board, the FIH have changed the mandatory status of the rule to experimental from Feb 1. And from Sept 1 next year, the own goal rule will be deleted from the rules book.
