Lahore: Pakistan Hockey Federation introduced the Champion’s Trophy to the International Hockey Federation in 1979. Since then, the tournament had been set for 35 times out of which Pakistan had won the title thrice.
World’s top six hockey teams come together annually to face off against each other for the said title.
However, In light of the recent decision of FIH, it is a matter of immense disappointment and dismay for Pakistan Hockey Federation to learn that FIH has decided to eliminate the ever exciting Champions Trophy from its yearly calendar all of a sudden without any prior consultation with PHF whatsoever.
Pakistan being the originator of the said tournament has always remained vigilant and supportive for the best interest of our national game and its audience and such decisions result in dissuasion of Hockey governing bodies for taking constructive initiatives for the growth and development of hockey.
PHF therefore expresses its utmost concern and protests to FIH on the elimination of champion’s trophy at its end.
