Punjab, Odisha, Tamil Nadu Vie to Host 2030 Men's and Women's Hockey World Cups
Punjab, Odisha, and Tamil Nadu are leading contenders to host the 2030 FIH Hockey World Cups for both men and women, with Odisha as the preferred choice, Hockey India secretary general Bhola Nath Singh said. Odisha has hosted the men's World Cup twice, Tamil Nadu recently hosted the men's Junior World Cup, and Punjab is hosting the men's Asian Champions Trophy after 17 years. India has yet to host the women's World Cup. Efforts are underway to expand hockey infrastructure nationwide, including hosting the Women's Asian Champions Trophy in Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh.
