The International Hockey Federation (FIH) is glad to announce that the match schedules of the Paris 2024 hockey Olympic tournaments – women and men – will be unveiled on 6 March at the Olympic House in Lausanne by IOC President Thomas Bach and FIH President Tayyab Ikram.
The hockey tournaments of the XXXIII Olympiad will be played in the historical venue of the Yves-du-Manoir Stadium – an Olympic Games arena in 1924! – in Colombes, near Paris. 12 men’s and 12 women’s national teams will compete to clinch the highly coveted Olympic medals!
FIH President Tayyab Ikram said: “On behalf of FIH and in my personal name, I’d like to express my sincerest gratitude to President Bach for his attendance at this really important event in the build-up to Paris 2024. As an Olympic sport since 1908 and an active member of the Olympic movement, we’re honoured and proud that the IOC President will be giving us some of his precious time. These Olympic Games are taking place during our Centennial year, which makes it even more special for the global hockey community. We’re looking forward to a fantastic event in Paris in a few months’ time!”
With an FIH Hockey Pro League workshop taking place in Lausanne on 6 and 7 March, most of the Hockey National Associations participating in the Paris 2024 Olympics will attend the unveiling ceremony.
