43rd FIH Congress rides into town...

MALAYSIA will host the 43rd International Hockey Fed eration (FIH) Congress in Kuala Lumpur from Friday.
   And Malaysian Hockey Confederation (MHC) president  Tengku Abdullah Sultan Ahmad Shah will make a bid to  become an Executive Board member.
    Tengku Abdullah had sent in his nominations earlier, and  reiterated his wish to stand as a candidate during the recent  Razak Cup in Kuantan.
   Right now, there are only two representatives from Asia on  the Executive Board and they are Asian Hockey Federation  president Sultan Azlan  Shah and  Pakistan’s Qasim Zia.
   There will also be a seminar where participants will  discuss about the recently launched World League and its  impact to the global growth of the sport.
   Participants will also get a chance to understand:
    • What stakeholders look for in hosting sports events and  how they can benefit.
• How to use partners to leverage and influence local  stakeholders.
• Case study of tangible benefits from recent FIH events.
