    Infighting between hockey bodies costs the team
  • The infighting between Hockey India (HI) and Indian Hockey Federation (IHF), to become the sole authority over Indian hockey almost jeopardised India's qualification at the Asian Games.

    IHF withdrew from the hosting rights of Champions Trophy from India because of which India could not participate in the prestigious tournament.

    In the end, FIH (International Hockey Federation) recognised Hockey India as the National Federation.
