ISLAMABAD, (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 12th Jul, 2018 ) :Pakistan Hockey Federation (PHF) is expected to shift the Six-Nation International Hockey Tournament from Rawalpindi to Lahore.
Talking to APP, a PHF official said the tournament was due to be hosted in Army Stadium in Rawalpindi but as a new astro-turf is to be laid there therefore the tournament is likely to be shifted to Lahore.
"We will convey the shifting of event to International Hockey Federation (FIH) and Asian Hockey Federation (AHF) after its confirmation," he said.
He said the tournament will be held from September 2 to 10 and the participating teams include Oman, Afghanistan, Sri Lanka, Kazakhstan, Qatar and Bangladesh.
He said PHF has been doing an all-out effort for the revival and promotion of hockey in the country.
