NEW DELHI: The International Hockey Federation (FIH) has granted formal recognition to Hockey India. In a letter addressed to Hockey India Secretary Mohammad Aslam Khan on June 14, FIH Secretary General Peter Cohen said, “…Hockey India is now a full member of the FIH.”
As per the resolution passed in the FIH Congress in Los Angeles in November 2008, “The Congress unanimously approved the transfer of membership of Hockey India subject to approval of their statutes.”
Mr. Cohen said, “You have provided the FIH with a copy of the Constitution of Hockey India (which I had previously approved on behalf of the FIH) and you have provided me with a copy of the certificate of registration.
IOA’s endorsement
“The Indian Olympic Association (IOA) has also confirmed that Hockey India has been accepted as a member of the IOA and has been registered by the IOA as the sole governing body for hockey, men and women, in India. The IOA has also advised FIH that the previous men’s and women’s associations are no longer members of the IOA.
“Hence, all the formalities required by the FIH Congress for the transfer of membership have been fulfilled and I am pleased to confirm that Hockey India is now formally recognised by the FIH as member of the FIH (in place of the Indian Hockey Confederation) as the sole governing body for hockey, men and women, in India.”
