FIH PRO HOCKEY LEAGUE: INDIA AND GERMANY MATCH POSTPONED DUE TO COVID-19 OUTBREAK
(The Quiver): FIH Hockey Pro League matches between the India men’s hockey team and Germany, initially scheduled on 12 and 13 March in Bhubaneswar, India, have been postponed due to a high number of COVID cases affecting the German team.
FIH, Hockey India and Hockey Germany are already working together to find alternative dates,” the International Hockey federation (FIH) said in a statements.
The Indian men’s team have had a topsy-turvy campaign so far in the FIH Pro League as it defeated South Africa in both the matches, but had a win and a loss in the ties against France and Spain.
While the men’s matches were deferred, the international governing body said that the women’s matches between India and Germany will go on as planned this weekend at the Kalinga Stadium.
The Germany women’s team arrived here on Tuesday and skipper Lisa Nolte expressed delight at the prospect of playing India at the Kalinga Stadium.
