Asian Hockey Federation (AHF) CEO Mohammad Tayyab Ikram and Belgium's Marc Coudron have filed their nominations for the International Hockey Federation's president's post, the elections for which will be held during the 48th FIH Congress on
November 5.
Egypt's Seif Ahmed is currently the acting president of FIH following Narinder Batra's resignation from the top post last month.
Batra, who became FIH president in 2016, resigned last month and also quit as Indian Olympic Association (IOA) chief.
He also gave up his International Olympic Committee (IOC) membership which was directly linked with his IOA position.
The FIH said in a statement that four positions in the FIH Executive Board will be elected at the Congress, or five if current Board Member Mohammad Tayyab Ikram is elected as president.
"The mandates of the EB members who will be elected on November 5 will run until the 2026 FIH Congress.
If there is a fifth position as EB Member to be elected, the term of office of that member will be of two years to take over the remaining two years Mohammad Tayyab Ikram as an EB Member," the world body said.
