The International Hockey Federation has been forced to extend the suspension of FIH Pro League’s second edition due to the COVID-19 pandemic and now plans to hold the ties in July and August, provided the current situation improves.
The FIH was forced to suspend the Pro League twice earlier due to the pandemic. The world hockey body first had postponed all matches scheduled before April 15 and later extended the deferment till May 17.
“Now, following the uncertainty of the evolution of the COVID-19 pandemic, FIH and the participating National Associations (NAs) have decided to consider the month of July and the beginning of August 2020 to play matches of the FIH Hockey Pro League, if the health situation improves,” FIH CEO Thierry Weil said.
“At present, all matches planned in the current schedule are on hold until further notice.
