Hockey’s world governing body has revealed it is negotiating with sponsors to start a high profile league in India.
“A total of four different groups have approached us for a hockey league and we are assessing them all. In fact we are discussing the financial situation with a couple of them,” Leandro Negre, the president of the International Hockey Federation (FIH) said late Friday.
Negre said the FIH would approval the hiring of foreign players, adding that “we need to ensure that the recruitment of these players will not affect the major world tournaments”.
