Hockey5s is just an addition
FIH CEO Thierry Weil has dismissed fears that Hockey5s will replace the 11vs11 format, and, as such, force clubs and associations to invest in different infrastructure. He believes that the shorter duration of games and the dependence on fewer players and low-cost infrastructure will woo countries that don’t play the sport at all, instead of replacing existing formats of the game.

HOCKEY5s, a drive towards pitch options that reduce or remove the need for water and the importance of continuing to update, review and then implement quality standards across a growing range of equipment and facilities were among the key messages discussed during a recent FIH Quality Programme webinar.
