FIH President Tayyab Ikram: After a grand opening on December 28, the Hockey India League (HIL) 2024-25 is in full swing, with eight men’s teams delivering spectacular performances at the iconic Birsa Munda Hockey Stadium in Rourkela, Odisha. International Hockey Federation (FIH) President Dato Tayyab Ikram believes the tournament is a great initiative for global hockey.

"Hockey India League is very close to my heart. It's an athlete-centric initiative. Globally, we need more platforms that provide athletes with opportunities to perform and receive the recognition they deserve. The Hockey India League has a unique organisation and timing, scheduled within a window specially sanctioned by the FIH, which enables top athletes to come together and compete, making it much more than just a hockey competition.

"I believe this initiative is a great initiative not just for Indian hockey, but also for global hockey. Significant participation from players along with the involvement of domestic talent will have a profound impact on the sport's growth and development," said Ikram at a press conference on the sidelines of the HIL in Rourkela.
