FIH: ‘Messy’ India will not host Champions Trophy


NEW DELHI: India has lost the right to host this year’s Champions Trophy because of an administrative mess which may cost the country future events as well, the International Hockey Federation (FIH) said yesterday.

The FIH rejected the Sports Ministry-brokered peace agreement between Hockey India (HI) and the Indian Hockey Federation (IHF), saying there could not be more than one federation running the game.
