Together, FIH and RSI Sports Group aim to expand access to quality learning opportunities and create environments that foster the next generation of the global hockey family.

“We are delighted to welcome RSI Sports Group and Fikagear as our FIH Academy Partner,” FIH President Tayyab Ikram said. “Their passion for innovation and commitment to excellence align perfectly with our values. This partnership will help us empower our National Association members, equipping them with the tools and knowledge to grow hockey in their communities.”
