New Delhi, Sep 12: With FIH chief Leandro Negre all set to meet Sports Minister Ajay Maken tomorrow, Hockey India today expressed confidence that it will able to convince the world governing body of the game to restore the Champions Trophy tournament back to the country.
FIH had stripped the high-profile tournament of India as it raised objection to the way the game is being run in the country. FIH had objections to the recent agreement between the HI and Indian Hockey Federation (IHF), which was brokered by the sports ministry, to administer the game.
However, it is learnt that the main reason for FIH to deny India the hosting rights was the pending payment of USD five lakh with regard to last year’s World Cup. The money has been blocked by Reserve Bank of India, according to FIH.
