In July this year, South Africa was announced as the host nation for the coveted showpiece, which was previously postponed due to Covid-19 related issues.
A total of 12 women’s national teams from across the globe will descend on our local shores to go head-to-head for title glory, with Team South Africa aiming to keep the trophy at home.
In the official announcement on the FIH website, South African Hockey Association Acting CEO Shaune Baaitjies said: “The South African Hockey family are so excited about another first for SA Hockey and we cannot wait to welcome our visitors to our beautiful country where we promise to deliver a spectacular event. As a country with a proud heritage of hosting historic international events we can’t wait to add the FIH Hockey Indoor World Cup to this incredible catalogue!”
FIH CEO Thierry Weil concluded: “All teams and all hockey fans are eagerly waiting for the FIH Hockey Indoor World Cup to be back! We’re really glad to have again participating teams from every continent, making it an impressive line up! On behalf of FIH, I’d like to thank wholeheartedly the South African Organising Committee for their commitment and hard work.”
