Odisha, Punjab, TN in race to host 2030 Hockey World Cups

Hockey India says Odisha is its first choice to host both the men's and women's World Cups, as it takes top-level hockey to new states.

Odisha, Punjab and Tamil Nadu are the frontrunners to host the 2030 FIH men's and women's World Cups, Hockey India secretary general Bhola Nath Singh said.

Odisha will be the first preference," he said; the State has hosted the men's World Cup twice.

Punjab is hosting the men's Asian Champions Trophy, its first international tournament in 17 years, and Bhopal will host the women's edition from November 19 to 28.
